ALERT: Suspicious Person in Buda Area

Please see the below information which was passed on by Detective Simmons of Buda Police Department:

I have been advised that there is a white male described as being in his 30’s and clean cut, driving a 4 door black passenger car around the subdivisions in the Buda area on the west side of 35. He has been seen 3 times in the last 2 weeks and has attempted to get an 8 year old and a high school aged girl in his vehicle. The areas that he was seen in was Cimarron Park in the area of Eagle’s Nest/FM1626, Whispering Hollow and again this date in Elliott Ranch. I understand that two of the subdivisions are in the county’s jurisdiction, but we need to keep an eye out for him. He is said to have asked the HS girl if he could give her a ride and then also approached an 8 year old female and “badgered” her to get in his car. I have been made aware of this from a friend in the area and have advised her to pass on any further information should she get any. I also passed it on to the SO. Better to be safe than sorry.
