In a 911 call, a caller told dispatch about about a woman who appeared to be with the suspect.

“The woman that’s walking around with him is arguing with the Walmart employee now that the gentleman thought the little girl was the one that belongs to the woman who is following him around,” the caller said.

Anyone with information related to this incident is asked to contact the Leland Police Department at 910-371-1100.
