FREDERICK, Md. (April 29, 2026) – The Frederick County Sheriff’s Office (FCSO) is investigating an assault that occurred on April 22, 2026, at a Walmart store located on Guilford Drive.
Deputies responded after an adult female reported she was shopping with her young child when she was approached by a male suspect. The suspect told the victim she had something on her buttocks, then proceeded to brush and squeeze her buttocks with his hand before leaving the store.
Through the investigation, deputies identified the suspect as Alcides Josuap Carbajal Barahona, 19, of Frederick, Maryland. A review of store surveillance footage showed the suspect lingering in the area of the victim, appearing to watch her before the incident.
