Carmi Police are looking for the public’s help after a disturbing interaction witnessed Thursday late afternoon played out leaving many distraught , yet thankful. Carmi Police took a report from a woman at the Carmi Dairy Queen just before 5:30pm who says she witnessed an older male attempting to get a pair of 11 and 12 year old girls into his vehicle. Another nearby witness also saw the events and contacted police while the other woman followed the girls who ran away from the man to ensure their safety. Carmi Police say the suspect vehicle left west bound from the Dairy Queen and was driving what appears to be an older model Kia SUV, possibly a Sorrento, dark in color and dirty. The suspect was alone and wearing a blue and white flannel shirt. They say he also appeared to possibly have a mustache. Anyone with information on the incident is asked to call the Carmi Police.

September 20, 2024 at 1:31 pmWas just day at lunch while kids had open campus there were kids huddled around vehicles talking with some people in truck vaping etc . Seem like places like this with alot of unattended kids is a hot spot for trafficking . now . Might need a attendance ck in when returning to school in case someone goes missing.. because waiting til kid doesn’t show up at home after school would be hours difference ..

September 20, 2024 at 3:15 pmJust get on isp s**ual predator search, they are everywhere. Problem is the judges and court systems dont put them away for good the first time! Just like all the meth heads running around. its a revolving door. No bail now because thats racist? lol! There is no answer to this. Voting does nothing because half the population ARE scumbags or braindead democrats or socialists, welcome to the new America courtesy of greed and his brother stupidity. Our great great grandfathers had it right. just hang them!

September 20, 2024 at 9:20 pmA vigilant public can help police track these people down. Obviously hundreds of eyes are better than a small police force with many duties. As they say if you see something say something. Use facebook as a tool rather than a gossip site

September 23, 2024 at 6:58 pmNo offense Charlie; but how is this FAKE news when they have a photo and multiple witnesses field a report ? Get your facts right. Source things out properly. People are always so opinionated and they don’t comprehend the difference between facts and opinions.
