Evansville Police were called to the 7400 block of E. Mulberry around 2:45 Thursday afternoon for a report of a suspicious person.
Officers arrived and spoke with a 12 year old who said a man driving a BLACK NISSAN ALTIMA (unknown year) had approached him while he was walking. The man was described as:
WHITE
LATE 30’S-EARLY 40’S
FACIAL HAIR (5 O’CLCOK SHADOW OR GOATEE)
SQUARE FRAM SUNGLASSES
WHITE/ BLUE PLAID SHORT SLEEVE SHIRT
The juvenile believed the man was trying to use a fake British accent and asked him where the nearest police station was located. The man then reached towards the juvenile. He felt the man was trying to grab him, so he ran away and went home.
The man was last seen going east on Lincoln from Martin’s Lane.
While investigating this incident, another person called and reported seeing the same man in the Nissan on the State Hospital Grounds about 20 minutes before the Mulberry incident. The caller felt the man was watching her children, so she left the park.
Anyone with information on the man or the car is asked to call EPD at 812-436-7979.
