Bush administration, was arrested by Fairfax Police Tuesday on charges of abduction, sexual battery and obscene display stemming from an incident that took place at a Ross clothing store in the Bailey’s Crossroads area of Falls Church. Following up an a series of tips from the Jan. 31 incident, detectives identified the subject, contacted him and met with him in the Fairfax Adult Detention Center on Tuesday, and as a result charged him.

The victim escaped and fled.
