YORKTOWN, Va. (WAVY) – A man was arrested Monday morning in connection with a possible abduction in Yorktown.

According to officials, deputies with the York-Poquoson Sheriff’s Office were dispatched to the 100 block of Running Cedar Court around 4:34 a.m. for reports of a possible abduction.

Deputies arrived to the scene and heard a male and female arguing from inside an apartment. Witnesses told deputies the woman had told the male to leave.

After determining the suspect, 43-year-old Gary Joseph Trites, was wanted for multiple charges for a separate incident in York in April of 2024, deputies knocked on the door of the apartment, but received no answer.

Around 7:50 a.m., the Sheriff’s Office Emergency Response Team entered the apartment and took Trites into custody.

Trites was then arrested and charged with three counts of threats of death to an individual, two counts of threats to burn or bomb, assault and battery and probation violation for schedule I or II drugs.

Trites is currently being held in the Virginia Peninsula Regional Jail.
