“This guy had hair on the side of his head and was balding at the top,” according to police. “He had a longer goatee and was wearing a long sleeve navy blue shirt, heavy set and appeared to be in his 30s or 40s.”

The man reportedly was driving a black pickup truck with a silver V-plow on the front that may have had the name of a business on the side that possibly started with the letter "S."
