Attempted Abduction in Texas County Under Investigation

Authorities in Texas County are looking for a man who tried to abduct a young girl Thursday morning.

Summersville police say the girl was walking down fifth street, when a man asked if he could give her a ride. The girl declined and kept walking. The man persisted until the girl ran for help at a nearby house. He then drove away.

He is in his mid-20’s with a goatee and driving a light-tan, four-door car with a sticker in the window reading “Just Married.”
