BARTLESVILLE, Okla. — Tulsa police took a man into custody on Wednesday who they say attempted to kidnap a Lowe’s employee in Bartlesville.

Bartlesville police said on Tuesday around 5 p.m., they were called to the Lowe’s at Southeast Adams Boulevard and Silver Lake Road for an attempted kidnapping of an employee.

Officers watched surveillance video from the store that showed a suspect, who police identified as Quincy Wilson, trying to force a Lowe’s employee outside of the store. Officers saw that the man’s vehicle was strategically placed outside of the store. Police have since recovered the vehicle.

Bartlesville police said they were called to an eastside business earlier Tuesday around 4 p.m. where they think the same man went into an office area. Police were told the man shut off the lights in the office and when witnesses opened the door, he was pulling his pants back up. The man fled the business before police got there.

The Bartlesville Police Department was notified by the Tulsa Police Department that Wilson was taken into custody. Bartlesville detectives will bring Wilson back to Bartlesville to be booked in the Washington County Jail.
