On Wednesday, Dec. 3, the Snowflake-Taylor Police Department received a report of a suspicious incident involving two girls, ages 9 and 11. The incident occurred on Monday, Dec. 1, in the area of 3rd South Street and 1st East Street in Snowflake. It was reported that a male subject was following the girls and later pulled over near them and requested a sexual act. The girls were able to reach a nearby relative’s residence safely and subsequently reported the incident to law enforcement.
With the assistance from the public, officers were able to identify a suspect. At approximately 1:28 p.m., on Friday, Dec. 5, the suspect was located, charged with luring a minor for sexual exploitation and taken into custody.
