Benjamin Thornburg said he had tried to kidnap young girls from Galveston to the Woodlands, said Pearland Police Department spokesman Rick Fernandez.
"He told us they were all unsuccessful," Fernandez said.
The girl told police she was waiting for a school bus at the corner of Wagon Trail and Cantu in Pearland about 7 a.m. Monday when a man driving a silver pickup stopped and offered to take her to school.
When the girl declined the offer, the man identified himself as a police officer and said she wasn't allowed to hold the small toy she had in her hands while waiting for a school bus. He reached out and grabbed the toy and her arm. "
She screamed and pulled away and ran to her home,"Fernandez said. "This was a very courageous little girl."
She told her mother about the incident and her mother called police.
