Fairfax County man denied bond for attempted abductions in Alexandria
ALEXANDRIA, Va. (DC News Now) — A Fairfax County man remains in custody, accused of two attempted abductions, including one at a Metrorail station. The Alexandria County Police Department released video from one of their cameras, caught on Friday night. It's said to show Jeffrey Gary, 35, as he tried to abduct a woman along Braddock Road, not far from the Metro station. The woman managed to get free and call the police. Investigation underway after suspects fire shots at tow truck driver in Montgomery Village, police say The attack happened about an hour after Metro Transit Police said Gary tried to abduct another woman, this time at the Potomac Yard Station, while with her four-year-old child. 'Another passenger was exiting the system, and it distracted the arrestee,' said Metro Transit Deputy Chief Dan Alvarez. She escaped and also called for help, police say. 'He was targeting females while riding on the Metro,' said Alexandria Police Chief Tarrick McGuire. Alexandria Police, Metro Transit Police, and Fairfax County Police found Gary early Sunday morning and arrested him. 'Your actions were [cowardly],' McGuire said. 'The pursuit of justice will be relentless until this case completely comes to a close.' The attempted abduction surprised Metro passengers, but they're glad to hear a suspect is in custody. 'That's good, police doing their jobs,' said Leo Martinez of Raleigh, N.C. 'That's what we expect.' Investigators said Gary does not have any prior arrests. They ask the public to contact them if they believe they're a victim. 'This department stands firmly behind the principle that no one, no woman, should ever have to live in fear of violence,' said McGuire. Gary remains held without bond, charged with assault and battery, and abduction. Copyright 2025 Nexstar Media, Inc. All rights reserved.
