A man accused of abducting a Philadelphia woman just weeks after a similar crime in Virginia will be tried in the Pennsylvania case first.
Delvin Barnes will be returned to Philadelphia from Virginia for an initial appearance Wednesday on federal kidnapping charges.
Authorities said Barnes, 37, grabbed a 22-year-old woman walking home from a bus stop last week. Police found the pair three days later in Jessup, Maryland.
Officials said that case will be tried in Philadelphia before Barnes is prosecuted in the abduction and attempted murder of a 16-year-old Richmond girl.
A Charles City County Sheriff's Office spokesman said detectives there have questioned Barnes about the Virginia case. Capt. Jayson Crawley said Barnes did not request a lawyer.
Barnes is expected to be appointed a Pennsylvania lawyer on Wednesday.
