Suspicious Activity Involving a Child

Coconino County Sheriff BadgeSedona AZ (September 25, 2014) – Coconino County Arizona Sheriff’s Office deputies are requesting assistance in identifying and locating a Native American female who offered a nine year-old girl a ride as she exited a school bus at a neighborhood bus stop. It is believed the driver of a maroon or older model red SUV, possibly a Chevrolet Tahoe, followed the child to her home and attempted to make contact with occupants inside the house.

On Friday, September 12, 2014, at about 1:22 in the afternoon, a Sheriff’s Dispatcher received a call of a trespass in progress with a child inside the home, and an adult Native American female attempting to get inside. Upon the Deputy’s arrival at the Doney Park residence, he met with a nine year-old female and her father.

According to the child, she exited the school bus at the intersection of Townsend Winona Road and Bluefield Road. She noticed a red SUV parked by the exit door of the bus. As she walked by the vehicle, a Native American woman in the driver’s seat asked the child if she wanted a ride home. The child said no.

As the child proceeded to walk home, she noticed that the red SUV was following her. At this point, the child dropped her water bottle and ran home crossing several residential yards in the process. Once at her home, the child saw the SUV drive up in front of her house and stop. According to the child, the woman exited her vehicle, approached the front door and knocked on it, asking in a voice loud enough for the child to hear if anyone was at home.

The child was so frightened by the woman’s actions that she hid in a room within the home. Eventually the woman left the area.

The suspect is described as a heavyset adult Native American female. The vehicle is described as a red or maroon SUV, possibly an older model, and possibly a Chevrolet Tahoe. Anyone with information regarding this incident or with information regarding the identity of the Native American female is asked to call the Coconino County Sheriff’s Office at 928-774-4523 or toll free at 1-800-338-7888 or Silent Witness at 928-774-6111.
