A man convicted of forcible sexual abuse of a child in 1991 was arrested Sunday after he was accused of trying to kidnap a boy in Summit County, police said.

Keith Bowen Shaw, 76, was sitting in his truck and talking to an 11-year-old boy near a skate park on Center Street in Coalville when two women who knew of the man's past spotted them, said Summit County Sheriff's detective Ronald Bridge.

Shaw had called the boy over to his truck around 2 p.m. and told him he'd give him food if he went to his home, Bridge said. Shaw then allegedly made "an overt movement to grab the child" when the two women walked over, prompting Shaw to drive away.

"These two particular ladies are part of the small community and were familiar with (the man) and knew him and his history," Bridge said. "When they saw the little boy standing next to the truck and the gentleman who was in it, they approached them."

Well, damn!!

A man convicted of forcible sexual abuse of a child in 1991 and who was arrested for investigation of attempted child kidnapping Sunday has been released from custody.

Prosecutors said Thursday there was insufficient evidence to charge the Coalville man.

Keith Bowen Shaw, 76, was arrested Sunday after two women who apparently knew of his past conviction saw him talking to an 11-year-old boy near a skate park. Police said Shaw was accused of trying to lure the boy to his home with promises of food.

In a statement issued Thursday, Summit County Attorney David Brickey said Shaw was released Wednesday after prosecutors determined there was not enough evidence to charge him with a crime. "However, this matter continues to remain under investigation, and anyone with information related to this incident is encouraged to contact the Summit County Sheriff's Office," the news release said.
