Deputies Release Sketch of Man Who Tried to Pick Up Teen at Bus Stop

The Lexington County Sheriff's Department released a composite sketch of a man who they say tried to pick up a teen Wednesday at a bus stop on Edmund Highway.

The 14-year-old girl worked with a sketch artist from the S.C. Law Enforcement Division to create a drawing of the man. 

She described the man as a white, heavy-set, older man with shoulder-length hair and a mullet cut. He also had a long, gray beard and spoke in a deep voice. The girl told deputies he was wearing glasses and a white, collared shirt. 

The car the man was driving was a red, older-model, four-door ar with a long and round-shaped front end. The headlight on the front passenger's side of the car was broken. A think piece of black tape was placed across the middle of the car's rear windshield.

Anyone with information about the incident or the man should contact the Lexington County Sheriff’s Department at 803-785-8230 or Crimestoppers at 1-888-CRIME-SC.

Citizens also can report information anonymously by accessing the crime tip link on the sheriff’s department web site (www.lexingtonsheriff.com).
