Police sketch of the attempted kidnapping suspect.

FPD Suspect Sketch

On July 25, at about 11:20pm, a heavy-set, hispanic man in a small, tan SUV drove into the Wicked AZ coffee drive-thru.  The man was masturbating in the vehicle as he sat at the window of the business.

Minutes after this crime, witnesses described a heavy-set “hispanic male with a big belly” in the same tan SUV committing the same crime at the other Wicked AZ location.  These crimes match the suspect and vehicle descriptions of the attempted kidnapping that occurred on July 15 on the east side of Flagstaff.

Back on July 15th a female victim was walking northbound on Patterson at Lockett in Flagstaff.  The suspect was driving north on Paterson, approached the victim from behind, stopped and asked her to get in his vehicle.  The victim stated he was naked and masturbating.  Victim told suspect, “no” and continued walking across Lockett.  The suspect drove east on Lockett, turned around and waited for victim.  At approximately Lockett and Steves Blvd., the suspect pulled up next to the victim, exited his vehicle naked and grabbed the victim telling her “come on baby, get in the car”.  He repeated this several times and forcibly attempted to get the woman into the vehicle.  The victim yelled and fought back, kicking, slapping and scratching at the suspect and he quickly let her go. The man got into the vehicle and left going westbound on Lockett.

Police describe the suspect as a Hispanic male approximately 25-35 years old.  He is about 5′7″ to 5′9″ and has a chubby build and a big belly according to the victims.  He also has chubby cheeks and a full mustache.   His hair is shaved on the sides and short on top, somewhat combed back.  No clothing description is available because the victim says all he had on was brown socks, nothing else. The  suspect is driving a newer model SUV, possibly Chevy blazer or a similar type of model, which was described as Tan in color.  The vehicle was reported to be missing it’s license plate and has tinted windows and loud music system.  No markings, damage, stickers or other identifying marks known.

This incident might also be related to another reported Hispanic male masturbating in a grey SUV at the Flagstaff Mall at approximately 2:15pm on the same day of the attempted kidnapping.
