Flasher Suspect Is Sought

Sat., March 11, 2000

The Sheriff’s office is looking for a man suspected of flashing a girl who was walking to school Wednesday morning.

An 11-year-old North Pines Junior High School student told school officials she was walking on Pines Road north of Broadway Avenue when a man called out to her.

When she turned around, he allegedly pulled his pants down in front of her.

She turned and ran the rest of the way to school.

The suspect was described as a white male in his 30s, 6 feet tall with dark hair, a beard and mustache. The girl said he was wearing a blue denim jacket, a red shirt and blue jeans.

Anyone with information regarding this incident is asked to call Crime Check at 456-2233.
