 NEWTON, NC — A Newton man who’s accused of trying to lure an 11-year-old girl into his car with a Blow Pop will face a judge Friday.  Malcolm Bodie is charged with attempted second-degree kidnapping.  The girl says Bodie approached her along South College Avenue.  She ran into a nearby business for help.

As the call was being dispatched, an investigator leaving the nearby Newton Police Department spotted the suspect’s car driving by.  Officers arrested Bodie soon after.
