Police: Teachers rescued SD student from being abducted
SIOUX FALLS, S.D. (AP) โ Court documents in an attempted kidnapping case against a homeless man show police are crediting three teachers with rescuing a 6-year-old student from an alleged abductor.
The Argus Leader reports an affidavit shows Lowell Elementary School teachers in Sioux Falls noticed 26-year-old Jamal Terry leading the boy away from the school last month. The document shows one teacher ran up to Terry and the boy to stop them, while two other teachers followed Terry until they lost him.
Terry was later arrested on another charge. The affidavit shows that's when he requested to speak with an officer so that his "name could be cleared." He told the officer the boy had followed him.
Terry has been charged with attempted kidnapping to take or entice away a child and second-degree kidnapping. It wasn't immediately clear if he has an attorney.
