The Riley County Police Department is renewing its appeal for information regarding a potential witness in connection with an aggravated battery that took place on Thursday, May 31, 2018. At approximately 1:00 PM that day, a 15-year-old girl was attacked and beaten in the head with an object resembling a bat or pipe.

During the initial investigation, Officer Deutsch interviewed a man near the intersection of the Linear Trail and Pecan Circle, where the attack occurred near the Schwan’s Food Service delivery center. The witness was described as a taller male, possibly in his late 50s or early 60s, driving a silver passenger car. This individual reported seeing a white male wearing a white shirt and carrying a pipe, with visible tattoos around his neck.

According to the witness, the suspect was walking northeast on the Linear Trail toward S. Manhattan Avenue, then turned around and headed southwest back toward Pecan Circle. This sighting occurred approximately 10 minutes prior to Officer Deutsch arriving at the scene.

Authorities believe this potential witness may have critical information that could help solve the case. Anyone with information, no matter how small it may seem, is urged to contact the Riley County Police Department at 785-537-2112. Tips can also be submitted anonymously through Crime Stoppers at (785) 539-7777 or 1-800-222-TIPS (8477).
