The two men tried to sign out the girl from her school, Henry Moss Middle School, when the principal intervened (thankfully) and stopped them after noting that they were not relatives. They were later arrested at the Dollar General store across the street and have been charged with attempted kidnapping of a minor.

It is astonishing that these men could think that they could get away with such an act.
