What the crap?

There’s a predator roaming the streets of Flagstaff and he seems to be stalking students.

“Any attacks that happen around here freak me out,” said a Northern Arizona University (NAU) student.

Just last week, only feet from the NAU campus, a man distracted a female with a question before assaulting her.

“A man grabbed her by the arm and tried to pull her close to him,” said a Flagstaff police officer.

Even scarier, the assault happened in broad daylight right in front of South Beaver Elementary School.

“We’ve been having extra teachers out here with an extra eye and finding out what’s going on with people who do and don’t belong,” said a local school official.

One person who definitely doesn’t belong is the suspect, described as a white male, in his mid-50s, wearing glasses with a thin build.

“But only a few days before, a suspect matching a similar description approached a 16-year-old student when she got off the bus right here,” said a Flagstaff police officer. said

“A man approached her in a vehicle and asked her about a lost dog,” said “She said she hadn’t seen one and he asked her to get in his car to find it.” said a Flagstaff police officer.

In both cases, the victims escaped unharmed, but residents are being reminded to be aware of their surroundings.

“I’ve been here for four years and I’ve never had anything like that happen to me,” said a NAU student.
