(KAIR)--A search is launched for the man believed to have attacked a woman in the parking lot of a Holton convenience store.
Jackson County Sheriff Tim Morse says it happened early Wednesday morning, between 1:00 and 1:30, at Casey's, located on the northeast corner of the intersection of K-16 and U.S. Highway 75.
It was there the female victim reports that a man approached her as she got out of her car, unsuccessfully attempting to force her back into the vehicle. The victim told authorities she struggled with the man but was able to escape from him, apparently driving from the scene.
The alleged attacker is described as white, standing about 5 foot 7 inches, with an average build. At the time of the reported assault, he was wearing dark pants and a dark hoodie.
Anyone with information about the crime should contact Holton Police at 785-364-2174 or the Sheriff's Office at 785-364-2251.
