Police Called to Livsey Elementary, Man Questioned

Police were called to in Tucker this morning after a man was seen loitering outside the entrance, according to a statement released by the PTA.

The man, whose identity is being withheld, was seen around 8 a.m. approaching parents as they dropped off their children and also went to the door of at least one home directly across from the school.

"This individual's presumed intent was to ask for money," the statement said, adding that no parent or child was specifically threatened or harmed in the incident.

Two DeKalb County police cruisers were dispatched to Livsey Road to investigate, and the man was taken for questioning.

The statement, signed by PTA Co-Presidents Kathy Hufford and Heather Leo as well as Principal Melanie Castelle, urges parents and neighbors to be aware at all times of strangers who are on or around the school campus. "If you see any such persons or are approached, please contact the school office or DeKalb County at 911 to report all incidents. We specifically discourage you from giving money or other handouts on campus or around the school."
