Man arrested for attempting to kidnap girl during track meet at Emery High School

A man was arrested after officials said he "grabbed a little girl by the waist and covered her mouth" during a middle school track meet in Emery County.

Deputies responded to the north side of the field at Emery High School, where the track meet was held, on Friday afternoon. School officials reported that the man, identified by an affidavit as 37-year-old Quintin Drollinger, quickly released the girl once he realized other people saw what he was doing.According to court documents, the girl told authorities that the man — who she did not know — "grabbed her around the waist and covered her mouth near the bathrooms," only letting go when her friend noticed what he was doing.

"I would like to thank the citizens who helped protect and comfort the victim and preserve the scene until law enforcement arrived," Sheriff Tyson Huntington stated. "Once again, it goes to show how important our citizens are to law enforcement. Please be aware of your surroundings."
