The Marion County Sheriff's Office is asking for the public's help after a masked man was spotted leaving an area in a dark-blue Infiniti with no license plates, according to a Sunday social media post. Deputies released a photo that shows a man in a dark-blue Nike jacket with the hood up and a balaclava-style mask covering the lower half of his face. The vehicle, investigators said, has chrome trim, a spoiler and dark custom wheels. Anyone who recognizes the man or the car is being urged to get in touch with investigators.
How to report a tip
The sheriff's office is asking anyone with information to call non-emergency dispatch at (503) 588-5032, per the Marion County Sheriff's Office website. If what you are seeing involves a threat or a crime in progress, officials say to dial 911 instead. Deputies also encourage callers to be ready with basic details like where and when they spotted the vehicle.
What deputies released
According to a post by the Marion County Sheriff's Office on Facebook, the suspect is described as a male with a darker skin complexion, wearing black shoes, black sweatpants and a dark-blue Nike jacket with the hood up, along with a balaclava-style mask covering the lower half of his face. The post states the man was seen leaving the area in a dark-blue Infiniti with chrome trim, a spoiler, dark custom wheels and no license plates, and lists the case as number 26-12642. Deputies asked that anyone with relevant information reference that case number when they call in a tip.
How to submit anonymous tips
For those who prefer to stay in the background, Marion County also accepts anonymous tips. The sheriff's office allows people to text TIPMCSO and their tip to 847411, or to use the online tip form, per the agency's tip page. The system lets residents upload photos or videos and track tip IDs, so you can quietly follow along after you hit send. Local reporting has previously noted that the office often uses social posts to share early details with the public, including in a recent Motel 6 traffic stop story.
