The suspect is described as a black man about 35 to 45 years old, between 5 feet 8 inches and 6 feet tall and of medium build, according to a release from the Washtenaw County Sheriff's Office.

The man has a light complexion with freckles on his face, a partial beard with pronounced goatee and wears a black bandana, police said in the release.

The victim was able to escape, and the suspect was seen fleeing the area in an older model burgundy color pickup truck, possibly with a standard size truck cab, police said. The pickup truck had an open cargo bed with no cargo cap or cover.

Police did not have any further information to release about the incident.

The victim's description is stuffed with specifics. If it doesn't result in quick police action, we'll have to wonder why.

Wow. So many details about this perp, while the most useful piece of information would have been a license plate number.
