HUTCHINSON – Parents in the USD 308 school district were advised to exercise more caution around the Faris Elementary School area.

A small group of second and third grade students reported a man approached them Thursday morning near the entrance to the school playground during recess.  Students described the man as a tanned younger individual with a light beard and tattoos.  The students ran away from the man and he left the area.

Hutchinson School officials say police are investigating the incident.
