Within a day of releasing the video footage, police officers arrested a suspect.</p>

<p>Auburn police have not released the suspect&#8217;s name nor announced any criminal charges. However, in the nine-second clip, the man is seen grabbing the barista&#8217;s wrist as they handed him his purchase&#8217;s cash change.</p>
<p>As he yanked the victim with his left hand, the man held a <strong><em>&#8220;looped zip tie device&#8221;</em></strong> in his right hand. He was seemingly attempting to <strong><em>&#8220;drag the victim through the window&#8221;</em></strong> using the tie, police revealed on Twitter.</p>
<p>But <a href="https://dev.theshaderoom.com/update-kehlani-says-christian-walker-was-losing-his-mind-over-gay-trans-flags-in-the-starbucks-window/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">the barista</a> wasn&#8217;t going for it&#8211;and immediately began attempts to snatch their arm back, dropping the change on the outside floor. The second the barista freed their arm, they closed the drive-thru window. The man hesitated for a second, sitting back in his seat. Then, finally, he starts to drive off but stops to seemingly grab something near the window before speeding off empty-handed.</p>
<h3 style="text-align: center;"><strong>Who Is The Attempted Drive-Thru Abductor? </strong></h3>
<p>According to the surveillance footage, the man appears Caucasian with a stocky build and a low beard. Police identified a tattoo on the man&#8217;s left forearm, which says <strong><em>Chevrolet</em></strong>. Ironically, the suspect was also driving a Chevrolet Silverado.</p>

<p>The incident occurred at about 5:06 a.m. local time, per the footage timestamp. On Tuesday (Jan. 17), police <a href="https://www.kiro7.com/news/local/auburn-police-searching-man-suspected-attempting-kidnap-barista/47V3BIJPKNCHBOUBXQTC7657NM/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">arrested their suspect</a> at his Auburn home, per <em>KIRO7-TV. </em>Department spokesperson, Kolby Crossley, said police linked the suspect to the crime scene after discovering evidence during a quick search of his pickup truck.</p>
<p>Police announced the arrest on Twitter at about 11:15 a.m. Tuesday. Reports say the barista was alone at the time of the attempted abduction.</p>
<p>Crossley said:</p>
<blockquote><p>&#8220;They are in vulnerable positions because they&#8217;re usually controlling those spots by themselves at early hours in the morning when it&#8217;s dark outside. But this barista did an awesome job of protecting herself and fighting this person off.&#8221;</p></blockquote>
<p>The suspect could face attempted kidnapping charges after he&#8217;s questioned and booked, per <em>KIRO7-TV.</em> Police are also investigating whether this was an isolated incident or a pattern for the suspect.</p>
