A Bowling Green man is facing several charges after an attempted kidnapping Thursday.
The Warren County Sheriff’s Office and Kentucky State Police were called to Mulberry Avenue for an attempted kidnapping complaint on Thursday, February 23.
The complainant reported that a person, later identified as 20 year-old Carson Mooneyhan, of Bowling Green, attempted to kidnap a 5-year-old child.
Immediately after a confrontation, Mooneyhan fled the scene in a white Nissan Altima toward Plano Road.
A few minutes later, Warren County Sheriff’s Office was advised of a single-vehicle collision near Plano Road and I-165.
A witness of the collision told officials the vehicle was a white Altima and was left on the ramp before the driver jumped into an unidentified black SUV that left the scene.
While Warren County Sheriff’s Office and Kentucky State Police were investigating these incidents, the Bowling Green Police Department responded to Hardees on Cumberland Trace Road due to a disturbance and a reckless driver-related incident.
