VICTIM: 13-year old female
On May 11, 2021, at approximately 9:21 A.M., a 13-year old female was walking through Murphy Park near Grand Teton Drive when the suspect walked up behind her and inappropriately touched her over her clothing. The suspect then punched and spat at the victim. The victim struck the suspect causing him to run away. The victim saw a police officer nearby and reported the incident. MPD Officers and Detectives, with the assistance of the department’s Unmanned Aircraft Systems (UAS) unit, checked the surrounding area but were unable to locate the suspect.

The suspect was described as a white male, approximately 40 to 50 years old, with crooked yellow teeth, a peeling scabbed facial complexion, and a salt and pepper beard. He was last seen wearing a blue sweater, white shirt, and dark colored jeans. Detectives contacted a police sketch artist to produce a composite sketch of the suspect. The composite sketch is being shared with the community in an effort to identify the suspect.

Extra patrols are being conducted in and around the area of Murphy Park. The suspect remains at large and this remains an active investigation. The police department is asking residents in the area to check their residential camera systems for images of any person matching the suspect’s description.
