A terrifying surveillance video shows the moment a woman was nearly abducted in St. Augustine, Florida, and now the suspect is in custody and facing charges.

On June 29, state law enforcement arrested 31-year-old Theodore Michael Tundidor, who had been charged with kidnapping, robbery and grand-theft auto, according to the St. Johns County Sheriff’s Office (SJSO).

The sheriff’s office said deputies were dispatched to a business at about 3:30 p.m. that day after a 911 caller reported a man was attempting to force a woman inside a vehicle in the parking lot.

Video released by the SJSO of the attempted abduction shows the man forcibly dragging the woman toward his gray pickup truck while holding her in a headlock.

State Fish and Wildlife Conservation (FWC) officers later located Tundidor driving recklessly near Marineland on the A1A. He allegedly fled, but was ultimately captured by FWC officers.

Along with charges from the sheriff’s office, FWC charged Tundidor with driving under the influence and fleeing and eluding law enforcement.
