FORT COLLINS — A man driving an extended-cab red pickup attempted to abduct a 13-year-old Fort Collins girl about 4 p.m. Tuesday, according to Fort Collins police.
The girl described the man as white and 35 to 40 years old with strawberry-blond hair and a red goatee. He was wearing a light-brown jacket under a heavy-duty jacket.
The teenager, a student at Lincoln Junior High School, was walking along Taft Hill Road and Laporte Avenue near a convenience store when the man pulled over, opened his window and claimed to be a sheriff’s deputy.
He told her to get into the truck, said Rita Davis, spokeswoman for the Fort Collins Police Department.
Davis said the girl told the man no, and when he insisted she get in the truck, she fled to the convenience store for help.
