I think he looks Mexican, and I believe he has been in the Tom Thumb on the corner of 97 and Hwy. 29 before when I was there a few weeks ago.

Sorry Leslie, I agree with Dallasmommy and NotAgain that the sketch looks so Asian, it is almost a caricature.

To “notagain” and “dallasmommy”………I don’t see where this photo depicts any certain type person except that is appears to be a male. It’s simply looks like a penciled, black and white sketch.
I think the concern should be that this person is caught and hope that he doesn’t have a chance to harm anyone.

I did some research and found an old picture of this same person who was doing this before. So someone has seen this man somewhere. If you see him again or think you do, please tell the dispatcher this is the second time you saw him. Also, use the crimestoppers phone line and report any information anonymously if you don’t want to give them your name.

Please carry a cell phone with you if you travel at night. You can even get a free one from the state for emergency use. All cell phone work for 911 calls even if you are out of minutes. Call 911 and ask the dispatcher to notify the officer that you are looking for a sfe place to pull over.

A couple of years ago someone in a white crown vic was attempting to pull women over . It happened several times in this same area and in the northern side of escambia. Same story… This sketch even looks similar. I remember because 1 morning I was bringing my son to school, and I saw a white crown vic pulled on the side of Hwy 97. His car was posed as a cop uses a radar. When I returned home, I called the escambia county sheriff’s phone line listed above, and the lady that answered did not seem interested. She had no enthusiasm. ” There’s alot of white crown vics out there… We are getting so many calls about this” she said. I got the feeling that the police were not going to follow up.

There are to many unmarked police vehicles ( Trucks, Suvs, and many makes of cars) with no markings on them at all —-that’s why this can happen.

in addition to my earlier comment…my very smart wife suggests activating your emergency flashers to let the police behind you know you are aware of their presence.

Just so everyone knows…you don’t have to pull over when a MARKED law enforcement car wants to stop you at night until you are able to pull into a well lighted area (unless you are presenting a danger as a driver…ie…drunk driver, felony eluding, ect). Just to be safe though, use your cell phone and call 911 and let them know what you are doing. They will notify the officer attempting to pull you over and this will avoid all kinds of misunderstanding with that officer. They, like us, believe in safety first.

This sounds like the same person that was doing this a couple of years ago on nine mile road.
