A student at Dakota Ridge High School who was running around Hine Lake Monday was grabbed by a suspect, but was able to escape and get to safety.

The man was described as white and between 30 to 40 years old. He was between 5 feet, 6 inches and 5 feet, 10 inches. He was wearing jeans, a dark baseball hat, dark tennis shoes and a shirt (unknown color), the sheriff’s office said.
