Deputies are
investigating a report in which a child told deputies that she was approached
by a man in a white truck as she walked to middle school in Immokalee last
week.
The
14-year-old girl told deputies that while walking to Immokalee Middle School in
the morning during the week of March 28-April 1 she was approached by a man she
did not know who wanted to know if she needed a ride. She declined and kept on
walking.
She told
deputies she would often see the man in his truck on South 5th
Street and by the Handy Store.
Detectives
said the man is described as black, possibly Haitian, and in his early 30s. He
has a small scar on the right side of his face.
The girl
told detectives he drove a white pickup but she was unsure of the make or
model.
Detectives
have released a composite sketch of the man.
Anyone with
information is asked to call the Collier County Sheriff’s Office at
