Marble Falls PD addresses kidnapping rumors

by Alexandria Randolph

Marble Falls Police are urging residents of a local apartment complex to remain calm after conflicting stories were spread about an assault that occurred earlier this week.

Police said while they are investigating an assault that took place at the complex, rumors of a kidnapping in an apartment community in the 700 block of Mustang Drive are not completely accurate.

“On Monday, we received a report of an assault. Today managers put out flyers warning their residents about a kidnapping," said Marble Falls Capt. Glenn Hanson, and added that police have no evidence that a kidnapping took place.

Hanson said police feel the assault was an isolated incident, but at this time are unable to release any information about the case.

“We are investigating a report of a felonious assault. There is no indication there should be any alarm in that community,” Hanson said. “We don’t believe there is anything they should be worried about.”
