April 4th, 2019 by Ric Hanson

SIOUX CITY, Iowa (AP) — A June trial has been scheduled for a man accused of trying to abduct a 14-year-old girl in Sioux City. Woodbury County court records say 23-year-old Michael Marshall-Limoges pleaded not guilty Wednesday to kidnapping, enticing a minor, assault and other charges. His trial is set to begin June 25. Court documents say he was driving behind the girl and a 9-year-old boy on March 22 and then stopped. Police say Marshall-Limoges got out, grabbed the girl and put her in his car. The girl managed to escape, and he drove away.

Police say license plate numbers from a witness led investigators to Marshall-Limoges. The court documents say he told officers that he tried to kidnap the girl so he could alleviate his anger by hurting other people.
