PARK TOWNSHIP, Mich. – Ottawa County detectives say that a girl who reported an attempted abduction over the weekend made up the story.
The 14-year-old girl reported on Sunday of being approached by a man on the boardwalk that runs near cottages along Terrace Walk in Park Township. She said he tried to sell her popcorn and then grabbed her wrist and tried to get her into his van.
Detectives have been investigating the incident, but determined the incident was unfounded. Wednesday, the girl admitted that the story was fabricated.
The case is being forwarded to the Ottawa County Prosecutor for review.
