A teenage girl was allegedly taken in the Hidden Valley area

According to the Winona County Sheriff’s Office, the 13-year-old girl told investigators she was forced into a silver car while outside around 5:30 a.m.

The girl said at least two men were involved, neither of whom she knew.

One of the men was described as white, between 25 and 40 years old and 5 feet, 10 inches tall or possibly taller. She described him as having shorter brown hair and facial hair. He was wearing a t-shirt with baggy gray shorts. He did not recall seeing any tattoos or jewelry on the man.

The girl described the second man as black, between 25 and 40 years old and possibly 5 feet 10 inches tall, but she wasn’t sure because he didn’t stand up around her. He was described as wearing a black sweater and baggy jeans that had cargo pockets.

The girl told law enforcement that there was a third person in the car, but it could also have been a pile of clothes.

The girl was eventually dropped off along Highway 61 and located around 1:30 p.m. that day.

Authorities said the girl outlined what happened during the incident, but officials declined to provide details Tuesday.

The girl suffered a scratch on the back of her head after the incident, according to the sheriff’s office. He is now in a safe place.

The sheriff’s office continues to investigate the incident.
