Full Notification

The Farmington Public Safety Department is seeking assistance from the public in identifying a man wanted for questioning in an assault of a 32 year old Farmington woman. The incident occurred on Friday, September 23rd at approximately 8:30 PM.

The lone suspect approached the victim who was walking to her residence at the Jamestown apartment complex (Grand River Avenue east of Halsted Road). The suspect asked for a cigarette and then grabbed a hold of the victim and tried covering her mouth. The victim was able to fend off the suspect who then fled the area on foot towards Grand River Ave. The victim sustained minor injuries that did not require hospitalization.

Farmington Public Safety officers established a perimeter around the crime scene and enlisted the assistance of a Southfield Police K-9 to track which was unsuccessful in locating the suspect.

The suspect is described as a white male, 5’8” to 5’11”, heavy set, and in his late 20’s to early 30’s. The suspect had a beard and mustache and “scruffy” hair (See attached composite photo). He was wearing baggy pants and a dark grey or black t-shirt with a white, “Star Wars” logo on the front. The suspect may have been driving a dark compact sedan, similar to a Toyota Prius.

Farmington Public Safety Director Frank Demers said, “This case is a top priority for the department. Clearly, we have a deranged individual lurking in our community and we will deploy the full resources of the department and enlist assistance from our neighboring law enforcement partners to identify and arrest this suspect.”

Anyone with information about this incident is asked to call Commander Justin DuLong at 248-474-5500, ext: 2246.
