Four Girls Fight Off Would-Be Kidnapper at Summer Festival

The girls protected themselves the only way they knew how — kicking and scratching their attempted kidnapper and throwing a cup of iced coffee in his face.

That was the scene in Millington, Mich., a small village with 1,000 residents situated 35 miles north of Flint, on the evening of Aug. 10. A 22-year-old man, identified as Bruce Hipkins, tried to abduct Allison Eickhoff, 11, her father and the police said.

At about 10 p.m., Allison, her 13-year-old sister Lauren, and two of their friends were outside the Speedway convenience store on State Road, having just come from the village’s annual Old-Fashioned Summer Festival, where the community had gathered for street parties, tractor shows, a frog-jumping contest and a lively parade.

The man followed the girls out of the Speedway and across the street into a parking lot. According to the Millington Police, he grabbed Allison by the face and mouth and told her she was coming with him.

Doesn't sound like his first time.

And a father beat another man to death because he had physical contact with his daughter in a convenience store bathroom.Nothing that would qualify as an assault,and strictly based on what the girl told her father upon exiting that bathroom.Life without her dad will be difficult,but that's what early indicators are predicting.
