The teenager did not know the man, police said.

Lake City police said that in surveillance video, the man could be seen approaching the teen and mother at a self-check-out line and tapped the teen on the shoulder.

The teen and man then walked to a bench and sat down talking to each other until the mother was done checking out.

Police said the man looks like he might be in his 50s, is heavy-set and has dark hair.

Investigators have asked the public that if they have any information regarding the man to please call Sgt. Craig Strickland at (386)-752-4343.
