GREELEY — Law officers from several agencies, a helicopter and police K-9 units were pursuing a man this afternoon in an area along the Union Pacific track near Greeley. The man resembles a suspect sought by Ottawa police who issued an alert this morning. Ottawa Police Chief Dennis Butler said that officers received a report that a 15-year-old Ottawa girl who was a student at Ottawa High School had left the building early this morning. Other students and one of the girl’s parents alerted police. She was found in Wilson County near Fredonia this morning, apparently unharmed, Butler said. She was talking to detectives this afternoon, he said. Police are seeking the man to talk to him about the incident, Butler said. Ottawa police issued an all-points bulletin for a man driving a white pickup with an Allegiance Communications sign on the side. There was one report that the truck was abandoned in an isolated area of the Franklin and Anderson County line near Greeley. The Anderson County Review reported on Facebook that Allegiance remotely turned off the vehicle with GPS technology. The Review also said that a Code-Red warning was issued to people living in and around Greeley. Police have also stopped trains in the area.
