Police warn female drivers of 'Good Samaritan'

TERRELL — Police say a man who poses as a Good Samaritan for female drivers may be up to something more sinister.
Over 30 woman in Kaufman County have reported that a white male, around 250 pounds and just over 6 feet tall, has asked them to pull over after he said he notices something wrong with their car.
"He tells them that there are sparks coming out of the back-end of their car, or something is wrong with their tire to get them out of their car," said a female employee at a local restaurant who said she has been passing on the news to other female co-workers.
The man then asks the woman to follow him to a gas station so he can examine the so-called problem further. However, so far none of the women that have made reports actually followed the man.
While nothing has happened to any of the women yet, police said they fear that may change.
Police said it appears the man has used three vehicles while approaching women. The cars described included a tan single-cab Chevy 1500 truck, a dark green early '90s Jeep Cherokee and a white utility-style van.
