Police investigators said Tuesday they were looking for a man who had tried to lure a 4-year-old boy into his van on Saturday by promising him a teddy bear, but sped away when the child's mother approached. Then, on Monday, the man tried to snatch a 6-year-old girl when a neighbor intervened.
But after interviews over the last two days with the suspect, several neighbors and one of the children, police determined no crime had occurred, a police spokeswoman Kammie Michael said in a news release issued Wednesday morning.
The suspect, who was very cooperative in the investigation, will not be charged, Michael said. She did not say how the case was a misunderstanding.
