 Bardstown Police are investigating two reports of attempted abductions that occurred over the weekend in the Cracker Barrel parking lot.

On Friday, a female Cracker Barrel employee was walking from the area next to Chili’s to Cracker Barrel when an old white van pulled alongside her at 1:30 p.m., according to a press release. Inside the van was a white male, possibly 50-60 years of age, with a scruffy beard.

The man allegedly offered a ride to the employee, who refused and continued walking.
