ROCKINGHAM — Investigators with the Richmond County Sheriff’s Office have obtained a warrant for child abduction following a report of a woman taking her child.

A post made to social media late Monday afternoon claims that Cribb broke down the door and knocked down a grandmother before taking the child.
