The Oakland County Sheriffs Department is asking for the public’s help in a stranger danger case. Deputies were called to the Alcott Elementary School last Saturday, where a group of children had been playing basketball. Two children say a man drove up in a black Kia SUV, told them to stay in school, then gave them a football and money. He also told them he was a cop and the children said they saw a badge hanging around his neck and a gun on his lap. The man is described as a white male, medium completion, clean-shaven with brown hair. He had tattoos of writing on his arms. Anyone with information is asked to call the Oakland County Sheriffs Department.
