Man Accused of Groping Woman At Roswell Park: Cops

ROSWELL, GA — The Roswell Police Department is asking the public to help them track down a man accused of inappropriately touching a woman at a local park. Officers were dispatched to the call around 11 a.m. Monday, July 16 to Roswell Area Park at 10495 Woodstock Road.

The woman who called police said she uses the park on a regular basis and is "somewhat familiar with the suspect."

"She would see him around the park, and they had small conversations," the Police Department said on its Facebook page. On Monday, however, the man approached her and began asking her personal questions "that made her uncomfortable."

"When she tried to depart, the suspect reached around and physically grabbed and groped her," the department added.
