A Kentucky man was arrested in Texas last week after allegedly trying to abduct an 11-year-old girl.
Police say 55-year-old Charles Graas grabbed the child by the arm with her father just a few feet away.
The fifth-grader’s parents say they were waiting for her when she was dropped off by her school bus at the hotel where her family is temporarily living.
Her father says he was walking her inside to drop off her books when Graas, an Elizabethtown man, drove up in a black Ford flatbed truck and, with her father just a few feet away, he first called to the girl then got out of his truck and grabbed her by the arm.

“He just tried to call her over ‘psst, come here,’ and then he grabbed her and tried to force her into his vehicle,” said the victim’s mother, Adrian Thompson.
The girl’s family says she ran away and Graas went into the hotel. He was later arrested and charged with enticing a child.
Deputies said Graas was in Houston for work and was staying at the same hotel as the little girl and her family.
