Police: Man Tried To Pick Up Shelton Teen

A 17-year-old Shelton girl told police a man tried several times to give her a ride to school Tuesday morning.

According to a prepared statement from Shelton Police Lt. Robert Kozlowsky, the incident occurred in the White Hills area.

“A 17-year ‑old female reported that she was walking to her bus stop just before 7 a.m. and noticed a white Nissan drive by her,” Kozlowsky said. ​“The female got to her bus stop and the same white Nissan stopped next to her and the driver told her the bus had already come and offered her a ride to school. The 17-year-old refused and the male offered a few more times before driving away.”

Police described the man as ​“an older, heavyset white male.”

Kozlowsky said officers checked the area, but were unable to locate the vehicle.

Anyone with any information is asked to call the police department at (203) 924‑1544.
