SEDALIA, Mo. (AP) - A Missouri man has been charged with attempting to kidnap a 10-year-old girl just three days after he was released from prison.
Twenty-eight-year-old Corey Tyler Owens, of Sedalia, is jailed on $250,000 bond on charges of first-degree kidnapping, possession of a controlled substance, third-degree assault and resisting arrest. No attorney is listed for him in online court records.
WDAF-TV reports that he was arrested over the weekend in Sedalia after he was paroled on drug and theft charges. Charging documents say the manager of a halfway house saw Owens push the girl against a van and another person in the house heard the girl shout, “He’s trying to take me.”
