DANVILLE, Va. – Danville police are searching for a man charged in connection with a domestic incident on Friday.
James Smith, 26, of Danville, is wanted for abduction, robbery, violating a protective order and vehicle theft, according to Danville police.
Smith allegedly forced the victim to drive her car, according to Danville city officials. It’s not clear if Smith was already in the car at that time or if he got into the car after.

It’s not clear if Smith had a weapon.
