Today, 02/16, about 9:15 am, Clark County Sheriff’s Office responded to a reported attempted abduction occurring at the 10700 block of NE 117th Ave, (HWY 503)
A lone 15 year old teenage female walking south bound on the sidewalk, eastside of the roadway.
Suspect and vehicle had stopped on the west side of the roadway at the intersection of NE 107th street as observed by a witness in the area. The witness then noticed the female walking and the driver/suspect of the parked vehicle exit it.
Witness observed the suspect walk to a point directly across the street from the teenage female, then crossed the four lane roadway making contact with the female.
In the mind of the witness he believed he was witnessing an abduction in process. The witness taking action approached the suspect and teenage female to intervene.
The teenage female was aware of the approaching suspect crossing the lanes of the roadway who engaged her in conversation. She was not interested in his conversations admiring her and told him to leave her alone of she would call the police.
Between the declines by the teenage female of the suspects verbal advances and the approaching witness the suspect left.
Vehicle and license plate recorded in addition to the suspect’s description by the witness. The registered owner of vehicle and suspect’s description are similar but are not released at this time while investigation continues and attempted contact is made.
There were no overt physical efforts by the suspect to physically abduct the female. After discussion with the prosecutor of call for law enforcement inquires, our case facts lack the “substantial step” of this attempted crime.
