Wyoming police seek driver in suspicious encounter

WYOMING, Mich. (WOOD) — Wyoming police are looking for a man caught on camera pulling a pedestrian into his pickup truck.

Officers  were called to Chicago Drive and Wendler Avenue SW shortly after 2 p.m.  Saturday, after a witness saw the incident unfold.

Surveillance  video from a nearby business shows a female walking east along Chicago  Drive when a pickup truck pulls up and parks at the corner, on Wendler  Avenue.

The driver climbs out of the vehicle, approaches the  female, appears to have a conversation with her, then pulls her toward  the vehicle. The pedestrian spins out of his grip, but he regains  control of her arms and leads her to the passenger side of the vehicle.

As the man returns to the driver’s side of the pickup truck, the female is seen climbing out of the vehicle and walking away.

The  man walks over to her again and leads her back to the passenger side,  where she is loaded into the pickup truck before it drives away.

Investigators are not sure what led up to the incident or if the two people know each other.

The  pickup truck was last seen heading south on Wendler Avenue. It’s  described as a white mid-2000 model Ford F-150 crew cab pickup truck  with stock rims, an open bed, beige trim and running boards along each  door.

The pedestrian is described as a black female in her teens  to early 20s who is about 5 feet 5 inches tall with an average build.  She was last seen wearing blue jeans, a pink shirt and a dark, possibly  jean jacket. Her hair was gathered into a short ponytail, police say.

The  driver is described as a black man in his 20s to 30s who is tall with  an average build. He had dreadlocks and was last seen wearing a red  T-shirt, blue jeans and white tennis shoes.

Anyone with additional  information in this case is encouraged to contact the Wyoming  Department of Public Safety's Investigative Division at 616.530.7335 or Silent Observer at 616.774.2345.
