Pima Sheriff Asks For Help Identifying Man Accused of Sex Assault

PIMA COUNTY — The Pima County Sheriff's Department is asking for the public's help in identifying a man accused of sexually assaulting a woman on March 10 as she walked her dog north of Tucson, the sheriff's department said in a news release.

The woman was walking her dog around 5:30 p.m. on March 10 near the intersection of Oldfather and Massingale roads in Pima County when a white man in his late 30s made crude comments to her and then touched her inappropriately, according to the sheriff's department.

The woman confronted the man and took pictures of him before he ran away, the sheriff's department said.

The man is described as being around 6 feet tall with a heavy build and blonde or light brown hair. He has a tattoo on the inside of his right forearm with a flower as part of the design and a piercing in his left ear.

Anyone with information about the man or the assault is asked to call 911 or to submit an anonymous tip, with the potential for a reward by going to 88CRIME.org.
