DYERSBURG, TN (KFVS) -
Dyersburg police investigators have charged a 20-year-old Dyersburg man in connection with the attempted child abduction of an 11-year-old child in November.
James Alexander Weaver, 20, of 1711 Johnson Street, Dyersburg, was arrested by Dyersburg Police on February 13 and charged with kidnapping.
Police responded to the 1700 block of Schaffer Street in reference to an attempted child abduction on November 1, 2012, at approximately 7:19 a.m.
Officers interviewed the 11-year-old girl, who reported that she left her home walking to a school bus stop when she was approached from behind by a man who grabbed her and attempted to drag her to an abandoned house nearby.
The victim struggled with the attacker and was able to break free and ran home.
Investigators developed Weaver as a person of interest, which led to the charges.
Experts say the officer who killed a Long Island college student and a home invasion suspect on Friday was confronted with a split-second choice.
The college student was being held in a headlock by a masked intruder with a loaded gun to her head, police said. Then the gunman took aim at an officer.
