The 12-year-old victim was verbally threatened by the suspect, but ran to a nearby school and reported the incident to police.
Police describe the suspect as a white male in his 40s with brown eyes, between 5’8” and 5’11”, with a round face, moustache or goatee, and short, balding grey hair. He was wearing a brown jacket, dark pants and “may have smelled of campfire and alcohol,” police said.
It is possible he was driving an older model 90s, two-door, grey sedan with no licence plate.
A composite sketch is being released in hopes the public may recognize and help to identify the suspect.
Anyone who may have information is asked to call 403-266-1234, or Crime Stoppers anonymously at 1-800-222-8477.
