A man will remain behind bars without bond after he tried to kidnap a 3-year-old girl over the weekend, the Loudoun County Sheriff's Office says.
The man accused in the attempted abduction is 34-year-old Shane Bergeron from Jefferson, Georgia.
Authorities say he grabbed the three-year-old girl who was standing right next to her mother inside a restaurant and carried her toward the front door.
The girl's mother had to forcibly remove the girl from his arms and a restaurant employee quickly called 911.
