(Fake) Meddling Kids Stop Dognapper

Champaign, ILL. – Police arrested a local woman for attempted robbery of Professor’s prized pooch from his car in the Parkland parking lot Friday morning.

Adam Rahn, dog owner, said, “I came inside just for a moment, and when I returned I found my car empty and my dog was gone!” Urbana resident Jordan Goebig removed the 5 year-old border collie, Emerson Collieflower, out of his parked car Friday, October 12, about 9:00 AM while Rahn went in to his office to collect some papers. She then tried to abscond through the quad where bystanders intervened. Elway Marshall, Parkland student, said, “There was a scuffle on the quad – a student was trying to wrestle a dog away from a woman. The woman looked like she was up to no good, and I decided to call the police.”
