Man Charged With Trying To Kidnap Children In Randolph County

A 38 year old man is charged in Randolph County with three counts of attempted kidnapping, a Level 5 felony carrying up to six years in prison. The Star Press reports Kevin Scott Jameson allegedly approached three children — ages 10, 9 and 8 — and asked if they wanted a ride in his police car, which was not a police car at all. The children didn’t accept his invitation, instead bicycling to their grandmother’s home and telling her about the incident. She then contacted the sheriff’s department.
