Police release more details on abduction of woman outside central Arkansas restaurant

Police on Thursday released more information in the abduction of a woman at gunpoint outside a Buffalo Wild Wings restaurant in Sherwood.

The victim, a 22-year-old woman, told authorities that the assailant approached her about 11:15 p.m. Saturday as she opened her vehicle door in the eatery’s parking lot at 4600 Silver Creek Drive.

The assailant then shoved a gun into her stomach and told her to get into the back of the car, according to a Sherwood Police Department report.

Authorities noted that the man grabbed the woman by her hair from the back seat, pointed the gun to her neck and told her to “respect and comply with what he says” or he would shoot.

The woman was then forced to drive to a nearby neighborhood, where the assailant forced her to perform a sexual act, the report states.

“If you don’t go on about your business I’m going to shoot this b**** up,” the man reportedly told the victim at an intersection before fleeing with $300 in cash and a driver's license he had taken from the woman.

The assailant was described as a black man in his 20s who stands about 5 feet 8 inches tall and weighs 140 pounds. He was wearing a "baggy red hoodie" at the time, the victim said.

No suspects were named, and no arrests had been made at the time of the report.
