Girl reports attempted abduction at bus stop

A sixth grade student told school officials that a man tried to abduct her at her bus stop Tuesday morning in Clarkston.

School officials were sending a letter to parents indicating that the girl said a white man in a gold Nissan tried to grab her near Nielson Drive and Nielson Court. The intersection is about half a mile from Jolly Elementary School, but the girl attends Freedom Middle School.

School district police are investigating, and bus drivers are monitoring the area as they drive their routes. The letter to parents of children at Jolly Elementary, Freedom Middle and Clarkston High asks them to be on the lookout for suspicious activity.
