Today, at approximately 3:00 p.m., Pima County deputies responded to the 2200 block of West Dakota Street for a report of suspicious activity. When they arrived, they learned a 12-year-old boy was sitting on his front porch, waiting for his parents to get home, when a man stopped his vehicle in front of the boy’s home and asked if anyone else was there.
At first the boy was answering the suspect’s questions, but became suspicious when he said the boy’s mother sent him and began to exit the vehicle. The boy ran from the area and got help.
The suspect fled westbound on Dakota Street. Crimes Against Children Unit detectives responded and took over the investigation. The boy was able to provide a very detailed description of the suspect and a composite sketch was completed. Detectives are asking for the public’s assistance in the identification of the suspect.
The suspect is described as:
- Caucasian, approximately 40-years-old
- Bald with a goatee
- A colorful full sleeve tattoo on his right arm
- Last seen wearing a black Washington Nationals baseball hat, light blue polo, jeans with a hole near the right knee, and Nike running shoes
- His vehicle is described as a dark green older model four door sedan with peeling paint on the roof, missing hubcap on the rear driver’s side wheel, and tint that is worn and bubbling.
