Parolee arrested on multiple charges after kidnapping a juvenile- juvenile escaped after a struggle 
Evansville Police arrested 46 year old ROY BEBOUT on multiple charges after he tried to abduct a juvenile female on Friday evening.
Police were called to the 200 block of N Main just before 4:00pm for a report of a handcuffed woman screaming for help. A METS driver saw the girl running away from a red Dodge truck and called 911. The driver of the truck fled the scene while driving in reverse.
The girl told police that a man approached her as she was walking near the old IGA store and displayed a handgun. He told her to get in the truck. He placed her in handcuffs. As he walked around the back of the truck, the girl was able to open her door and flee. The girl gave some details to the police, but did not know her attacker.
Officers located a cell phone at the scene that did not belong to the girl. The cell phone led officers to beleive BEBOUT was the attacker. BEBOUT was located in Gibson County overnight. He is currently in the Vanderburgh County Jail on Kidnapping, Criminal Confinement, Battery, and Strangulation charges.
BEBOUT is currently on parole for kidnapping and rape. He has a Posey County address.
