A man wanted by police after he allegedly pulled a knife on a woman during an attempted robbery on Friday turned himself in to authorities Monday morning.

Lt. Curtis Muhannad with the Selma Police Department, said the investigation into Friday’s incident at the old Dallas Academy building is ongoing after the suspect, Roen Lee Rivers, 35, turned himself in.

Muhannad said Rivers is being held at the Dallas County Jail and is facing one count of menacing and one count of third-degree criminal trespassing. Both counts come with a $1,000 bond.

“He did turn himself in this morning, and the investigation is still underway,” Muhannad said. “Right now he is facing a total of $2,000 bond, and if he bonds out, a plea date will be set, and he will either plea guilty or not guilty to the charges.”

Friday’s attempted robbery occurred around noon as the woman was working in the Alabama Department of Revenue’s Tax Payer Service Center on the second floor of the Selma Avenue building.

In a news release Friday, Muhannad said the victim had attempted to help Rivers when he approached her and asked for directions to a local business.

“That was just a decoy,” Muhannad said. “We know now that he was trying to rob her. But by the time he pulled the knife she started screaming and pushed him away before he could run from the building.”

Muhannad said the victim was shown photographs of suspects who fit the description she gave investigators after they arrived on the scene, and she identified Rivers as her attacker.
