COLORADO SPRINGS — At 10:06 a.m. on Sunday, April 13, the Colorado Springs Police Department (CSPD) was told of a "suspicious circumstance" and trespassing situation at a fast food restaurant in the 1200 block of N. Academy Blvd.
One of the employees told police that they were worried about a man who came into the restaurant with a young girl.
According to police, the employee knew that the man wasn't the parent/caregiver of the girl, and police quickly responded and confirmed that the girl didn't belong with the man.
The man was identified as 35-year-old Darryl McLaurin, and he was taken into custody on outstanding warrants, but police continued to investigate.
They determined that the girl had been "enticed" away from an apartment courtyard.
She has since been returned to her parents, unharmed.
McLaurin is facing the following charges:
- Second Degree Kidnapping
- Enticement of a Child
- Failure to Register as a Sex Offender
- Other unspecified charges
CSPD also thanked the community for their "vigilance" with this situation and asks anyone with any additional information to contact them at (719) 444-7000.
