Police: Woman Draws Man Into Robbery Attempt

A woman was arrested Thursday in an alleged attempt to rob a man at her Wicklow Drive apartment Sunday morning, according to the Fredericksburg Police Department.

Kristin Lecky, 26, of Fredericksburg was arrested for attempted robbery, conspiracy to commit robbery, possession of schedule I and II narcotics and possession of drugs with the intent to distribute.

The victim, a 38-year-old Stafford resident, told police he was at the home in the 1000 block Wicklow Drive at 8:15 a.m. Sunday with Lecky when a male subject entered the room and confronted him about being there.

The male reportedly was armed with a handgun in his hand and a knife in a back pocket. According to the victim, the female acquaintance repeatedly told the male suspect that the victim had a large amount of cash and she urged the victim to turn it over.

During the confusion, the victim was able to jump out of the apartment through the ground floor bedroom window. He ran out onto Fall Hill Avenue and attempted to flag down passing cars, while the female chased after him and tried to stop him.

The victim was able to make his way to the nearby 7-Eleven and use the cell phone of someone there to call 911. Lecky reportedly returned to her apartment.

When officers arrived to investigate, Lecky gave consent for the officers to search the bedroom and a large amount of drugs and drug paraphernalia were found along with the victim’s wallet and cell phone. The male suspect was
not located.

Lecky was incarcerated at the Rappahannock Regional Jail under no bond. The
unknown suspect is still at large. He is described as a black male in his early 30s, approximately 5’5” and 185 pounds, with dreadlocks. The investigation is ongoing.
