WASHINGTON — A man is in custody after allegedly attempting to lure a child into his car.

On Tuesday, officers responded to the 3400 block of Hemlock Drive just before 9 a.m. for reports of a suspicious person. When officers arrived, they learned earlier that morning a child was waiting for his school bus near Wadsworth Court and Little River Turnpike.

A man, now identified as Perez Soliz, drove up in a Black Subaru and tried to persuade the child to get inside the car. The child ran away to an adult who was at the bus stop and told them what happened. The adult took a picture of Soliz's car before he was able to drive off.

The child boarded the bus and reported the incident to a school official. The school notified the police, who were able to pull video from the Real Time Crime Center
