The Guthrie County Sheriff’s office is looking for information regarding an attempted abduction that happened Wednesday in Menlo.

The incident happened around noon, when sources say an adult male attempted to lure a 9-year-old girl into his vehicle. The vehicle was described as a white SUV with rust, possibly a Tahoe. According to witnesses, the man stopped at the Menlo Fuel Stop on the north side of town and asked the girl for directions. When she approached, he tried to pull her inside, but she resisted and was able to break free. She ran to a nearby residence, and the suspect drove away. Sources say the man had a mask and a Green Bay Packers hat on at the time.

If anyone has any information on the incident or the suspect, they are encouraged to contact the Sheriff’s office at 641-747-2214. Information can be given anonymously.
