Meeker County investigates ‘suspicious incident’ involving jogger

(KNSI) – The Meeker County Sheriff’s Office is currently investigating a suspicious incident that occurred Friday morning.

Between 6:00 and 7:00 a.m., an 18-year-old woman was jogging near Darwin-Dassel County Park when she was aggressively approached by a stranger. A news release states the man is in his twenties, has blonde hair and is just over 6 feet tall. He is described as thin and wearing gray sweatpants.

The woman ran into the woods to escape the man when a second, older man appeared. He had also been jogging and scared the suspect away. Sheriff Brian Cruze says the department wants to speak with both the suspect and the Good Samaritan.

The number to call is 320-693-5400. The confidential tip line is 320-693-5411.
