last week.&nbsp; The 18-year-old woman was just walking back from meeting a friend near the Bear Creek Greenway when a man appeared at the entrance to Lyn Newbry Park and grabbed her by the neck.<\/p>\n<p class=\"mb10\">\n<\/p><p>\u201cHe took her neck and tried to drag her into the park,\u201d Talent Police Chief Mike Moran notes.&nbsp; \u201cI\u2019m sure it was a scary situation for her.\u201d The 18-year-old was holding her cell phone in her hand when the attack took place, and during the struggle managed to hit the speed-dial button, which instantly connected her to the friend she had just left.&nbsp; \u201cIt seems that the friend\u2019s voice on the other end of the line might have scared the attacker, because he let the victim go.\u201d<\/p>\n<p class=\"mb10\">\n<\/p><p>Talent Officer Bill May responded to the situation and canvassed the area to see if anyone had seen a man fitting the woman\u2019s description, only to find suspect Stephen Douglas Shinske approaching a nearby Chevron station.&nbsp; \u201cMay strongly suspected the man was his suspect and took hold of him,\u201d Moran says.&nbsp; \u201cIt was just good fortune that the suspect probably didn\u2019t see the officer at the Chevron, otherwise he might not have walked up to it like he did.\u201d The woman later identified Shinske as the man who attacked her.&nbsp; He has been indicted on charges of strangulation, second-degree kidnapping, fourth-degree assault, and harassment.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>A young woman was saved from a
