According to Michigan State Police, the man approached the young girl while she was riding her bike alone on Rosemary Lane around 7 p.m. He was wearing an ID badge for a pest control company and reportedly posing as a traveling door-to-door salesman.
Police say he fled the area on a Segway-type vehicle after being questioned by the girl’s father. Police were able to locate and arrest him the following day.
Rojas’ next court hearing has not yet been scheduled, though he is expected back in court within the next 21 days.
