Someone called to report a “wanted” person matching the description of a person in flyers on the trail was currently there. The flyers were clearly not from a law enforcement agency but showed a picture of a male and said to be cautious of him, since he was a sexual predator. The flyers said to contact SBPD Detective J. Brown if he was seen. The phone number listed on the flyer was to SBPD’s old recruiting #. Deputies hiked the trail to try and locate the male. Several hikers told deputies that they also saw the flyers and that they had seen the male up the trail, although he was not doing anything at that time. After about a mile+ hike up the trail, the original RP was located, who said the male left 35 minutes prior.
