SALEM — Salem police have arrested a 66-year-old Odin man in connection with a recently reported attempted abduction.

Allen Hill was taken in to custody after the 15-year-old female victim was shown a photo lineup and picked Hill as the man who attempted to abduct her.

According to Salem police, at approximately 10 p.m. Sunday, the young female was out for a run in Bryan Memorial Park in an area near the “dog park” just south of Salem Township Hospital.

A white male suspect reportedly drove past the victim, who was running north towards the hospital. The suspect then turned around at an unknown location and began traveling to the north behind the victim.

The male driver asked the victim to get into his truck but she refused. The male then opened the driver’s door and grabbed the victim by the arm and attempted to pull her into the truck.

The victim was able to break free and run to the hospital for assistance. The victim believed the suspect turned around in the dog park and traveled in the opposite direction of the victim.

Hill is currently being held in the Marion County Jail awaiting the formal filing of charges and the setting of bail.
