Police seek info on attempted abduction

A 19-year old female Central Michigan University student was the victim of an attempted abduction Wednesday following the football game.

The incident occurred around 10 p.m. on Blue Grass Road, near Sweeney Road, when a passenger of a dark, four-door vehicle jumped out of the car, grabbed her arm, and tried to pull her into the car.

According to a press release from the Isabella County Sheriff’s department, the male said, “Get into the car. You’re coming with me.”

The victim yelled and kicked him and was able to pull away. The suspect got back into the car and drove off eastbound on Blue Grass Road, according to the release.

Isabella County Sheriff Leo Mioduszewski said the woman was not injured.

There are no leads on the three suspects in the vehicle. The individual in the back seat of the car was a white male, described as tall, skinny and was wearing a gray CMU hooded sweatshirt with the hood up. The driver also was a white male.

“Things happened so fast for her, she wasn’t able to give good descriptions,” Mioduszewski said. “We’re hoping that somebody in the public may have seen that happen and provide a better descriptions of suspect. We don’t have a lot of information and we’re still investigating.”

Mioduszewski said the attempted abduction was a rare event for the area.

“This is the first one we’ve taken at the sheriffs’s department, first one we’re dealing with this semester,” he said.

Anyone with information about the incident can contact the Isabella County Sheriff’s Office at 772-5911.
