LANDER (WNE) — A Fort Washakie man was arrested Thursday in Riverton after he allegedly entered Saint Margaret’s school grounds and attempted to grab a 6-year-old girl and her backpack.
He was scared off after the girl’s mother began yelling, according to the Riverton Police Department.
According to the preliminary report, the man, Martin Harris, 57, whom police described as a “transient” person from Fort Washakie, also attempted to open the back door of the victim’s mother’s truck. He was again scared off before leaving the area, according to the report.
Officers searched the area and later found a man matching the description. They took Harris into custody. The victim’s mother reportedly watched a video taken by police and positively identified Harris as the suspect.
Harris was arrested on charges of criminal entry, with other charges pending, according to the preliminary police report.
