STAFFORD — City police are searching for a Fredericksburg man wanted for domestic assault and battery, malicious wounding, abduction, and destruction of property.

He broke a pane of glass in the door, causing numerous cuts on the woman’s hand, according to a police report, and did not allow her to leave the home. Then, he wrapped a lamp cord around her neck and dragged her outside, according to witnesses, who notified the police.

Merritt fled the area on a red bicycle. He has not yet been located.

Anyone with information on Merritt’s whereabouts is asked to call the Fredericksburg Police Department at (540) 373-3122.
