Update: Delco Man Charged With Attempting To Lure Students Released From Jail

RADNOR, Pa. (CBS) -- Police say a Radnor man who was charged last week with attempting to lure three students outside Wayne Elementary School has been released from jail.

26-year-old Daniel Lee was arrested last week and held on $100,000 bail.  Radnor Police say Lee was required to take a mental evaluation before he could be granted bail.

Lee is accused of approaching the three children, ages 10, 9 and eight, attempting to lure them, then returning a second time in what police say may have been a second attempt.

Radnor police say the "disturbing" incident happened around 6:30 p.m. on October 21 after school was dismissed.

Police say Lee does not live far from the school.

According to an arrest warrant providing details of the allegations, "the male engaged the three children in conversation and asked them where they went to school and who their teachers were. The male proceeded to ask the children if they had ever been in the woods. He then stated he was going deep into the woods where an abandoned house was located."

Radnor Township detective T.J. Schreiber described the conversation that Lee allegedly had with the children saying "and then he started talking about going into the woods, and 'I'm going to go into a cabin in the woods, and my friend is there, and it really scares me.'"

Authorities haven't released any more details about Lee's release.
