Attacker still being sought

From staff reports Dalton Daily Citizen

A man who allegedly attacked a woman who was walking on the campus of Coker Elementary School early Tuesday evening still has not been located, said Chief Deputy Ray Sitton of the Murray County Sheriff’s Office.

“We’re still looking and our investigators and deputies have been in the neighborhoods over there talking to people,” Sitton said late Thursday afternoon.

The man feigned an injury and called for help near some woods, said Sheriff Howard Ensley on Wednesday. The woman approached the man and he assaulted her, he said.

The woman was injured slightly, Ensley said, and broke away to run to the school gym and get help.

A heightened law enforcement presence has been maintained at the school since the incident, especially during school hours and when buses are unloading and loading.

Anyone with information about the man — described as being about 6 foot tall, weighing 200 pounds and wearing a watch cap and hooded sweatshirt — is asked to call the sheriff’s office at (706) 695-4592.
