LANCASTER \u2013 Additional patrols have been assigned to the area surrounding El Dorado Elementary School, after a student was approached and harassed while on her way to school Friday morning, authorities said.<\/p>\n

The incident happened around 8:04 a.m. at El Dorado Park, located at 361 East Pondera Avenue in Lancaster, according to Lt. Paul Pfrehm of the Lancaster Sheriff\u2019s Station.<\/p>\n

A man, identified as 21-year-old Lancaster transient\u00a0Jahlay Thompson<\/strong>, allegedly approached a 12-year-old girl as she was walking through the park on her way to school, Pfrehm stated.<\/p>\n

\u201cThe suspect spoke to the victim and attempted to entice the victim [to] \u2018come with him,\u2019\u201d Pfrehm stated. \u201cThe victim rejected his attempts and continued walking westbound towards the school.\u201d<\/p>\n

Pfrehm said a school custodian witnessed the incident and stepped in to help.<\/p>\n

\u201cHe observed the interaction between the victim and suspect and became concerned for the safety of the victim. The witness saw the victim was clearly upset and scared, and [he] walked her to school where law enforcement was contacted,\u201d Pfrehm said.<\/p>\n

Several patrol units responded to El Dorado Elementary and quickly located Thompson near the school.<\/p>\n

Thompson was arrested around 9:30 a.m. on suspicion of annoying or molesting a child and is being held at the Lancaster Sheriff\u2019s Station jail.<\/p>\n
