Reported New Richmond Abduction Case Not What it Appeared to Be

HUDSON -- An apparent case of abduction in the Town of Star Prairie has turned out to not be the case.

On Wednesday morning at about 9:30 a.m., the St. Croix County Sheriff's office responded to a reported abduction. A preliminary investigation led them to the Town of Stanton on County Highway K, where they found a female victim inside the residence who suffered from lacerations and bruising.

During the course of the St. Croix County Sheriff's investigation, information was gathered that leads investigators to believe that the two known individuals being treated were the only ones involved in the incident.

Since both individuals involved are juveniles, officials are withholding their names from the public.

Sheriff's investigators concluded that both individuals involved know each other, and there was no attempted abduction nor is there any danger to the public.

Both parties were treated for their injuries.
