St. Ignace troopers searching for suspect in sexual assault

ST. IGNACE, MI--   Michigan State Police from the St. Ignace Post are investigating the sexual assault of a Chicago woman in Schoolcraft County. 

Troopers say the incident happened in the early morning hours of Saturday in an area south of Gulliver in Mueller Township.  They believe the assailant traveled a significant distance to commit the assault. 

The suspect is described as a 5’8” to 6’ white male in his 30s with light eyes, an average to athletic build, and shorter, well-kept hair.  He has a fair amount of facial stubble but not a full beard or mustache.  The suspect was last seen wearing a grayish-green T-shirt, jean shorts, and tennis shoes. 

A bright yellow Jeep Wrangler with a spare tire on back depicting a yellow smiley face was seen in the area. 

Anyone with information regarding the case is asked to call Michigan State Police at 866-411-0018.
