Mott student flees from possible child predator

Waterford police are looking for a possible child predator who reportedly attempted to abduct a teen near Waterford Mott High School on Thursday, March 8.

A 15-year-old female was walking to school on Pontiac Lake Road near Cass Lake Road when the incident occurred.

Arriving officers spoke with both school staff and the student, who said she heard the unknown suspect yell something to her as he drove past, but she ignored him and kept walking toward the school.

As she approached Hira Street, the man reportedly cut her off in his vehicle and began walking toward her, demanding she get into the car. The student ran around the man and headed directly to the school office.

The unknown suspect is described as a white male in his 40s or early 50s, with blond hair and scruffy facial hair. He is approximately 6-feet-tall and weighs between 215 and 225 pounds.

The vehicle he was driving was described as a dark green, late 1990s to early 2000s four-door Pontiac Bonneville.

The incident is still under investigation. If you have any information, call Waterford Police Detective Himmelspach at 248-202-7334.
