Ricardio Antonio Chavarria Manjivar, 35, was arrested a day after the Prince William County Police Department released a sketch of a man accused of giving a 29-year-old woman a ride and a show during a weekend trip from Hell. 

At around 1:30 a.m. on Sunday, Dec. 3, officers from the Prince William County Police Department were called to investigate a reported incident that took place in the area of Forestdale Avenue and Fullerton Road involving the woman and a man - now identiied as Chavarria Manjivar - who unsolicitedly offered her a ride.

According to investigators, the woman was walking in the area when the driver of a white sedan pulled up and offered her the ride, to which she voluntarily accepted.

During the ride, police say that she asked to get out, but Chavarria Manjivar refused. At one point during the ordeal, it is alleged that the driver exposed himself and made inappropriate gestures before attempting to touch the woman, who asked to get out several times.

Chavarria Manjivar allegedly eventually drove the woman to her Woodbridge home, where she was able to retreat without further incident and the man drove away. She then contacted police at around 3 a.m. on Sunday.

The driver was identified and arrested after detectives received a tip regarding the location of the white sedan, photos of which were released along with the sketch of Chavarria Manjivar on Wednesday.

They were able to track down the vehicle and Chavarria Manjivar was arrested without incident and charged with abduction with intent to defile.

Chavarria Manjivar is being held without bond and his initial court date is pending, according to the department.
