A man was arrested Tuesday in connection with an investigation involving a Garfield High School student and a vehicle police found in a Rainier Avenue South parking lot, Capitol Hill Seattle News reported. The outlet said detectives were continuing to investigate.
The outlet’s account places the encounter at about 10:40 a.m. Tuesday. A vehicle entered the school’s parking lot on 23rd Avenue as a student was walking onto campus, and the male driver reportedly tried to entice the student, according to Capitol Hill Seattle News.
The student was not harmed and told school authorities about the encounter, the outlet reported. Seattle police responded and later located the man and vehicle in the Rainier Avenue South lot. The arrest was made while police were investigating luring and possession of a stolen vehicle, Capitol Hill Seattle News said.
KING 5 has separately reported a Seattle police investigation into an attempted child-luring report at Alki Elementary School. That report is not presented here as connected to the Garfield case.
