KELSEYVILLE, Calif. – Kelseyville High School officials are asking the community for information about a male subject who approached a student waiting for the school bus on Wednesday morning.
The school put out an automated call to parents on Wednesday afternoon regarding the incident.
Principal Matt Cockerton told Lake County News that a female student waiting for the bus in the Finley area was approached by the unknown male, who was driving a white Chrysler PT Cruiser.
The man was described as having a dark complexion, with a beard and moustache, Cockerton said.
“He drove by twice, tried to talk to her both instances,” Cockerton said.
Cockerton said the girl called her father, who came down and waited with her for the bus.
The man didn't threaten the girl, said Cockerton, however, “It frightened her enough that she told us and she also told her parents.”
The teen had never seen the man or the car before, Cockerton said.
Cockerton said they are actively trying to locate the white PT Cruiser and make contact with the driver. “That's why we put the message out to the community.”
The school hasn't had any similar incidents happen, Cockerton said. “We're just being cautious with this situation.”
Cockerton asked that anyone with information call Deputy Cynthia Radoumis, the school resource officer, at 707-279-4923, extension 1209, or the Lake County Sheriff's nonemergency number, 707-263-2690.
