52-year-old man is facing charges after an alleged attack on 16-year-old

By Cass Rains Staff Writer

A 52-year-old Enid man was arraigned on two felony charges Monday for allegedly trying to kidnap an 16-year-old girl and exposing himself.

Michael Leon Freeman was charged with attempted kidnapping and lewd exhibition.

The kidnapping charge is punishable by up to five years in prison, and the lewd exhibition charge carries a penalty of a $500 to $20,000 fine, 30 days to 10 years in prison or both.

According to court documents, the girl was going to her aunt’s van when a man pulled up in a maroon car behind the van and leaned out of the window and tried to grab her.

The girl’s father said he heard his daughter screaming and saw a man in a maroon car near his daughter. He told police once he approached the vehicle he saw the man was exposed, according to court documents. The man said the car left the parking lot of New View Apartments and headed north on Leona Mitchell.

The girl’s aunt also told police she saw a maroon car pull up behind her van and heard a man screaming for her niece to get into the car, according to court documents. She said the man was leaning out his window when she approached the vehicle, and the man told her everything was OK.

As she approached, she also saw the man was exposed, according to court documents.

Police attempted to stop a vehicle matching the description given by witnesses at 3rd and Garriott, but the car turned west on Garriott without using a signal and was speeding about 60 mph in a 35 mph zone, according to court documents.

The vehicle stopped in the 4500 block of South Grand, and police spoke with the driver, Freeman.

Freeman said he had been at New View Apartments to buy drugs when a female starting screaming he was trying to rape her, according to court documents. He said several people told him they were going to hurt him so he left the apartment complex.

The three witnesses were taken to Freeman’s vehicle and each identified him separately as the man they had reported to police earlier, according to court documents.

Freeman is being held in lieu of $45,000 bond and was ordered to appear again April 12 for a bond appearance.
