Pullman Police report a Pullman man was threatened by another man while approaching a bank ATM machine.
On Sunday evening, Oct.26, a 20 year old Pullman man reported that he was threatened downtown approximately one hour earlier, when he approached an ATM at 7 p.m. at the U.S. Bank drive-thru area.
The victim was reportedly approached by a man who made a threatening gesture, and called him a disparaging name apparently due to his perceived sexual orientation. The victim retreated to his car, and as he was entering his car, the suspect charged at him. As the victim drove away, the suspect hit his car window.The suspect was described as a white male, 20’s to early 30’s, with light brown or dirty blonde hair, light-colored eyes, 5’10” to 6’00” tall approximately 185 to 200 lbs wearing a black hooded sweatshirt and blue jeans. Suspect may also have acne, facial blemishes or some facial hair along the lower cheek or jawline area.
The victim was not struck or injured, and his vehicle suffered no damage.
Late yesterday afternoon, the victim was re-interviewed and a Forensic Artist sketch drawing was completed. (Click on drawing at right for larger image.)
