Community Advisory – Suspicious Incident Investigation
The Princeton Police Department is actively investigating a suspicious incident involving a juvenile.
On February 3, 2025, at approximately 3:55 PM, a juvenile was walking along the Guyot Path, west of Jefferson Road, when they observed an unidentified Hispanic male in his 30s, approximately 5’7” tall, wearing a dark green hooded jacket. The juvenile reported that the individual initially followed them and, upon noticing this, they became alarmed and started to run. The unknown male then reportedly began chasing the juvenile. There was no contact between the juvenile and the individual. 
The Princeton Police Department is thoroughly investigating this incident and pursuing all leads. As a precaution, there will be an increased police presence in the area. We encourage community members to remain vigilant and report any suspicious activity to the police.
Anyone with information regarding this incident is urged to contact the Princeton Police Department.
