A Michigan man was arrested after allegedly touching and tickling children he did not know while they were playing ball at a summer event in the park.
On June 21, the advent of the fourth annual “Food Truck Fridays” was held at Town Square Park in Pinckney. The president of the local Chamber of Commerce talked about some of the features at the weekly event and said, “We have 16 food trucks. We have our famous ‘foam party,’ which is the kids go play in the foam at 1:45p, 4:45p and 6:45p. The fire department will have a display and they’re going to be spraying the kids down.”
The activities typically draw a large crowd including many families with children. Some of the youngsters were playing catch with a football, and an unknown man reportedly walked up and got in between their game. The police were later told that he was touching and tickling the kids, who were reportedly uncomfortable with him. It was reported that the man told the kids he knew their parents. One of the youngsters said he felt worried that the man was trying to kidnap him.
