There is currently a large police presence in north Wheaton in the areas of Northside Park, Wheaton North High School and the Theosophical Society as officers search for an individual who fled a traffic stop. There is no known threat to the community. If you see an individual matching the following description, you should report it to 9-1-1: A black male, approximately 6 feet tall with dreadlocks, who is possibly missing a shoe.
Again, Wheaton Police have no reason to believe there is a threat to the community, but we want to share this information to inform the community as to the reason for the large police presence.
