Williston, Florida- At approximately 12:30 two students were approached on the playground by what students described as a white or Hispanic male. The suspect possible had black hair possibly wearing a brown shirt, blue pants, and black boots, possibly with a silver tooth and a dark spot or mole on his face.

The Levy County Sheriff's Office and Williston Police Department are jointly conducting an investigation into the incident. The School Board and School officials are taking measures to insure the safety and security of all students.
