Alleged victim declines prosecution after kidnapping

HOUTZDALE – A 24-year-old Houtzdale woman decided against prosecuting her boyfriend on charges of kidnapping.

The woman and her boyfriend, a 32-year-old Houtzdale man, reportedly had an argument July 19 at about 9:30 p.m. The woman told the man that her father was coming for her.

State police at Clearfield report that the man then grabbed the woman by her arm, led her to his car and drove her toward Prince Gallitzin State Park.

When the couple returned, the woman’s father arrived and took the woman with him.

Police reported that the woman would not give a written statement to authorities, and she refused to prosecute the case.
