Stafford Teen Girl Flees Stalker: Police

STAFFORD COUNTY, VA — Sheriff's deputies are searching for the man who made an unwanted approach Tuesday to a 14-year-old student at North Stafford High School. The girl ran away, and the Stafford County Sheriff's Office says that deputies will monitor the area this week for suspicious activity.

The teenager told deputies that she was walking home at about 2:30 p.m. Tuesday on a path behind the school, near Catherine Lane, when she encountered a man, described as white and possibly in his 30s.

He offered to walk her home, but she refused. "He persisted in his request and reached out towards her," the sheriff's office said, but she fled and did not see him again.

Deputies checked the area, but did not locate anyone matching the man’s description. The high school is at 839 Garrisonville Road.

Anyone with information on this incident is asked to call the Stafford County Sheriff’s Office at (540) 658-4400.
