There has been a report of a suspicious person in St. Michael earlier this afternoon. Mid-afternoon Wright County Sheriffs Office received a call that a man yelled out to a young boy jumping on a trampoline in a home off of Oakwood Parkway.

According to the boy's mother (who asked not to be identified in order to protect her son's identity), the man said, "Come here little boy."

The man appeared to come out of the woods near the railroad tracks.

According to the mother, the boy started yelling "Fire, Fire" and ran inside and the police were called.
