Timothy Miller told police he thought the child was older when he persuaded him to get into his truck.
A man has been arrested on suspicion of attempting to kidnap a boy as he was walking home from school and asking him for drugs.
Miller was stopped by two eyewitnesses after they saw the boy jumping out of the vehicle while it was driving down the street. The boy briefly lost consciousness after hitting his head on the pavement while attempting to escape from the suspect. The boy became scared and attempted to open the door to exit the vehicle. Miller then started to drive faster to prevent the boy from getting out, but the child was"determined and scared" and eventually leaped from the moving vehicle.
Miller told police that he thought the boy was 14 to 16 years old and admitted approaching him in an attempt to buy drugs. He said the boy did ask to be let out the vehicle at one point."We are grateful to the good Samaritans who assisted us with taking Miller into custody," Boynton Beach Police wrote on Facebook."We encourage parents to use this as an opportunity to remind their children about the dangers of getting into a car with someone they do not know.
