7/2/2004

BOWLING GREEN - Police here are looking for a man driving a pickup truck who brandished a gun and ordered a woman into his vehicle after he asked for directions outside the Woodland Towne Centre.

The woman, 19, was first approached about 5:30 p.m. outside the mall when the man drove next to her and asked for directions. She answered, and he drove a short distance - only to turn around and return. He showed the woman a black handgun told her to get in. She went into the mall.

Police said the man was white and in his 30s, medium height to tall, and unshaven. He wore an off-white, tan, or gray T-shirt and blue jeans. He was driving a late 1980s to 1990s full-size light blue pickup.
