Attempted Kidnapping in Sonoma Valley
Detectives from the Sonoma County Sheriff's Office Domestic Violence Sexual Assault Unit are currently investigating the attempt kidnapping of a child from an elementary school in the Sonoma Valley area.
Yesterday, a child reported that a man approached her on school grounds. When he made contact with the child he tried to lure the child away by asking if she needed a ride home. When the child refused the suspect grabbed her by the arm, but she was able to escape by running away. It is believed that this same suspect has also attempted this twice before at different Valley schools over the past several months, but in each of those cases the suspect only asked the girls if they wanted a ride home. When they refused the suspect simply turned and walked away.
Deputies from the Valley substation are working with the Sonoma Police Department and the Sonoma Valley Unified School District in an effort to locate and identify the suspect.
The suspect is described as a Hispanic male adult, 30 years old, approximately 5'08" to 6' tall, average to thin build. The suspect is clean shaven or might have a light mustache. He had medium to dark complexion. He man spoke English with a heavy accent and fluent Spanish. He was wearing a black hooded sweat shirt over his head, jeans and athletic shoes. He also wore a neck chain with a dollar sign pendant and a diamond stud earring (see attached composite sketch). He is associated with a red compact passenger car, similar to a Ford Focus.
The parents of the schools in the area have been alerted. Any person with information about this incident or suspect is encouraged to contact the Sonoma County Sheriff's Office Investigations Bureau, the Valley Sub-station, or the Sonoma Police Department.
