The woman took photos of the mans vehicle, and contacted the Island County Sheriff’s Office to file a report and then posted the following warning on social media, which was ultimately shared thousands of times:
“Keep a look out for this Creep! He tried to get me into his car today…TWICE! I was at/around the Deception Pass Bridge, running. He drives past me really slowly and starts telling me to get into his car, he says “you need to get into my car, you need to get into my car now” I’m like “WTH”? I keep running and he drives off. But then once I cross the bridge, there he is again…this time he is driving towards me and he’s waving his hands and screaming at me “Get in my car, you need to get in my car, I want to give you a ride…hey hey!! I just looked straight at him and screamed “No” (actually a really bad cuss word before that, but my parents are on facebook, ha!) and turned the opposite direction…then I thought…screw this…I’m getting pictures of this freak…went and filed a police report. They sent me the profile pic of him, I took the others. They told me he is from Sedro-Woolley. This was a horrible experience, please be safe out there and be aware of your surroundings at all times…XOXO
Suspicious Vehicle
SkagitBreaking.com reached out to the Sedro Woolley Police Department on the Incident as the woman stated he lived in the Sedro Woolley area, and a Detective with the Sedro Woolley Police Department confirmed the incident was reported to the Island County Sheriff’s Office but the man did not live in the City of Sedro- Woolley. The man is reported to live in the Glen Haven area. Investigators have tentatively identified the man based on the vehicle description the woman was able to provide investigators.
A follow up by SkagitBreaking.com with the Island County Sheriff’s Office confirms the woman did report being approached multiple times by a man in a gray Honda Accord. She was able to provide investigators with a license plate number and a description of the man driving the vehicle. Investigators were able to determine the vehicle was a gray 2014 Honda Accord, driven by a slender, balding man, believed to be in his 50’s with brown hair.
Skagitbreaking.com chose not to identify the man or share the Facebook post from the woman involved until we could verify the man was wanted by Law Enforcement for the reported incident at Deception Pass.
