Posted on Saturday, September 6, 2008
Washington County deputies are seeking a suspect accused of holding a woman at knife point inside Devil's Den State Park on Friday morning.
The victim told park rangers she was robbed at knife point in front of the Devil's Den Visitor's Center just after 11 a.m.
She described the suspect as a white male, between 20 and 30 years old, wearing a yellow helmet and a yellow jacket. He was allegedly riding a yellow Enduro motorcycle.
"The park rangers looked around but didn't find him," Kelly Cantrell, public information officer for the Washington County Sheriff's Office, said. "They reported it to us about 45 minutes to an hour after that. We got the call at 12: 16 p. m."
The suspect was last seen traveling northbound on Arkansas 170, toward West Fork.
No arrest had been made as of 4 p.m. Friday, but Cantrell said the investigation is ongoing.
Those with any information regarding the incident can contact the Washington County Sheriff's Office at (479 ) 444-5700.
