KALAMAZOO (WKZO AM/FM) — A Kalamazoo man has been busted for allegedly abducting and raping a 13-year-old girl after she managed to alert police she was being held captive.
The young girl was snatched from a bus stop just before 8:00 last night and taken to a home in the 1600 block of Clinton Ave. in the Edison Neighborhood, where she says she was assaulted.
The suspect left the upstairs room where she was being held when another member of the household came home unexpectedly.
That’s when the girl grabbed the cell phone and called 911 and police followed her signal through the rain to Clinton Ave. Little information about the suspect has been released, other than that the girl did not know him prior to the abduction.
He was booked into the County Jail on Kidnapping and first degree criminal sexual conduct charges which could result in life terms.
