Police Issue Composite Sketch of Indecency Suspect

The Special Victim’s Unit of DeKalb's Police Department has developed a composite sketch of a man involved in a public indecency act that occurred on June 6 at the intersection of Covington Highway and Mercer Drive. 

Detectives say a woman was sitting at a bus stop at 11:45 p.m. when the suspect approached and tried to engage her in conversation. When she turned to respond, she observed him committing a sexual act.

The woman fled and called police. They searched the area with help from a K-9 unit but were unable to find him.

Attached to this article is a composite sketch of the suspect issued by police, who are asking for the public's help in identifying him. The Special Victim’s Unit telephone number is 770 724-7710.

Detectives believe the same man may be involved in two previous attempted sexual assaults that occurred nearby, both at the Marquis Ridge apartment complex, on May 31 and on June 3 of this year. In both cases, a man entered an apartment through an open window and committed sexual acts in front of women.
