An APB was put out, and Sgt. Richard Lancendorfer spotted a van resembling the description given and performed a traffic stop. A witness identified the driver as the man who had offered to give her a ride, said officer Chad Garcia.
The driver claimed he had been in the area of the incident, and had stopped in the 700 block of Fourth Street to work on his van. The man claimed he never saw the children playing, only a juvenile boy who pulled out in front of him on a bicycle, Garcia said.
Police took photographs of the suspect and the van, and the man allowed police to search the vehicle. Inside they found a small amount of marijuana and a pipe. The man admitted the pot and pipe were his, and police confiscated the items. The case was forwarded to the district attorney's office for possible charges.
