He has been described as a white, approximately 30 years old, 5'10", medium build, light brown short hair cut in a flat top style.

A strange man has been seen wandering the halls at five different Puyallup elementary schools.

Police hope the public may be able to identify the man in hopes of contacting him to see why he’s been at the schools.

“We don’t know his intentions; they may be theft, it may be something different,” said Captain Dave McDonald with the Puyallup Police Department.

Police said the man behaves like he belongs at the school when he enters before or after classes have been in session. Then he makes up the name of a teacher he’s looking for and leaves when confronted about a discrepancy.

An employee at one of the schools witnessed him leaving the parking lot driving a tan, single-cab 4×4 truck.

He has been described as a white, approximately 30 years old, 5’10”, medium build, light brown short hair cut in a flat top style. He has been reported to have a large tattoo on one of his forearms.
