CUTLERVILLE, MI -- After investigating a possible child abduction Tuesday morning, police determined that the girl was lying about the situation.

Shortly before 9:30 a.m., police were called to Grand Village mobile home park for a possible child abduction case involving a 10-year-old girl.

The girl told police that she had been playing in a creek while waiting for her school bus when a man in a mask approached her and forced her into his pick-up truck. She said that he drove her around for an hour until she was able to escape his vehicle and run home.

Her mother then called police.

Kent County Undersheriff Michelle Young said that it appears the girl lied about the abduction ever happening because she did not want to get in trouble for missing the school bus.

The investigation is ongoing.
