The 15-year-old boy arrested in connection with an attempted kidnapping in Sprague had previously been investigated a year ago for allegedly trying to lure a minor.

That's according to Lincoln County Proscutor Jeff Barkdull on Thursday.

Barkdull says his office received a report from the sheriff's office accusing the boy of luring, but decided not to file charges in the case because it did not meet the legal elements.

Barkdull says the incident occurred in Sprague and that he stands by the decision.

The 15-year-old boy, whose name has not been released, is scheduled to appear in court Friday afternoon.
