A sketch has been released of a man who is suspected of stalking and exposing himself to a Pierce County teenager earlier this month.

The 16-year-old girl was walking home from school in the 18800 block of 8th Avenue East on Feb. 7 at about 3 p.m. when the man followed her in his car. The driver allegedly exposed himself to her and was inappropriately touching himself, according to the Pierce County Sheriff’s Office in a Facebook post.

The post said that surveillance showed the man was driving a blue, four-door sedan.

With the help of the teenager, a detective created a sketch of the man. He is described as white, in his early 20’s with dirty blonde hair. He also looks like a college student, the post said.

Information on the suspect can be submitted through the Sheriff’s Office evidence.com portal.
