ROHNERT PARK - Public safety officers said Wednesday that a report of a man trying to lure a 9-year-old student into a pickup truck Monday morning at a Rohnert Park elementary school is false.

The boy had reported that a man in a white truck pulled into a parking lot at Marguerite Hahn Elementary School at 825 Hudis St. between 8 a.m. and 8:20 a.m. and asked the boy whether he wanted to see the man's car. The boy said he refused and then told school officials.

Investigators said the boy told them he did not know which way the truck went after the incident. Officers followed up with the boy and school staff on Tuesday to identify a suspect or suspects.

This morning, the boy's parents got in touch with officers to say the boy made up the story, public safety officials said. The boy then admitted to officers the story was false.

He said he saw a man in a white truck but that the man did not try to lure him into the truck, public safety officials said.

The boy's mother told officers that she and the boy had watched a show recently where a child reported a similar incident and a fire truck came to the school, according to public safety officials. No one will be arrested in the incident but officers reprimanded the child for making the false report.
