Clayton County police are looking for a man who allegedly impersonated a police officer, molested a girl and stole her pens and pencils.

Officer Sonja Sanchez said the girl told police she was walking near Roundtree Road and Providence Drive in Riverdale in February when she was stopped by a man who said he was a truant officer.

The girl said the man told her to put her hands on her head and spread her legs. He then rubbed her between her legs and up her body to her breasts, police said.

He took pens and pencils from her pockets, then got into his car and said he was going to "run her name" before driving away toward Riverdale High School, police said.

The girl told police he was a white male, about 30, with sideburns and a goatee; he was 6 feet tall and thin, with black hair, blue eyes, acne and freckles. She said he had a Southern accent and was wearing a dark blue shirt and pants in a military "battle dress uniform" style and boots.

The man was wearing a police duty belt with full gear and a firearm but did not have a badge, police said. He was driving a new-model, black Ford Crown Victoria with heavily tinted windows.

Anyone with information about this alleged incident was asked to call the Clayton County police.
