Undersheriff Johansson says that On 07-23-2021 at approximately 7:00 P.M a female was picking blackberries on SR 109 near milepost 5. The victim was approached by the male suspect described as 6-00 tall, a neatly trimmed black goatee, pierced left ear, straight white teeth (possibly dentures) and redfish eyebrows. The male was wearing green shoes with no shoe laces, black shirt, black pants, and a black stocking hat.

 

The suspect approached the victim on foot and asked the victim for a ride to the hospital to see his wife. The victim saw a handgun tucked into the males pants and decided not to give him a ride. The victim returned to her vehicle and got inside. The suspect grabbed the victim and tried to remove her from the vehicle. The victim was able to spray the suspect with pepper spray and he ran away. The victim was not injured and called 911.

 

Deputies arrived at the scene and requested assistance from Aberdeen PD’s K-9 unit. The area was searched, and they were unable to locate the suspect. This is possibly the same suspect of the armed robbery the previous day. If anyone knows someone matching this description who may have recently died his hair red, please call and report this information to the Sheriff’s Office.

 

Under Sheriff Johansson says that he believes someone will recognize the description of the suspect and the Sheriff’s Office needs help from our citizens to identify the suspect. The suspect was armed with a handgun on both occasions, please do not approach or contact the suspect, call 911.

 

If anyone witnessed the suspect in the area or saw anything suspicious on SR 109 please call the non-emergency line 360-533-8765.
