An Abbott student reported to police Wednesday that a man had been following students in his car and attempting to engage them by making “inappropriate statements” while they walked in the 300 and 400 blocks of Standish Street between 3:30 and 4 p.m., a police Facebook post said.
The suspect was described as being Hispanic, in his 20s and having short hair and some facial hair, police said. He was reportedly driving a silver or beige Ford Edge SUV.
Police provided extra patrols in the area after school in the days following the incident, the report said, but no information on what led to the Rendon’s arrest and charges was released.
