The Calhoun County Sheriff's Office is investigating a reported attempted abduction that occurred on October 20th at approximately 10:50a.m. near the intersection of Morgan Road and Norave Drive in Pennfield Township.

A 54 year old Pennfield Township woman was walking her dog along Morgan Road when she was approached from behind by an unknown male wearing a black ski mask, fluorescent yellow jacket and black gloves.  The suspect reportedly grabbed the woman from behind and lifted her off the ground.  Her dog intervened, attacking the suspect, who then fled into a nearby wooded area.

Deputies responded to the scene and searched the surrounding area with assistance from the Calhoun Aerial Support Team (CAST), which deployed a drone to assist in the search.  Despite these efforts, deputies did not locate the suspect.

The Sheriff's Office has notified surrounding law enforcement agencies and continues to investigate the incident.  Deputies will follow up with residents in the area to identify potential surveillance footage that may help identify the suspect.
