A female caller reported that a male in a truck had been following her in the area of Veterans Road while she was out jogging. At one time during the report she advised that the male was naked and standing on the side of the road. A short time after the call was made to dispatchers; officers located the female, a 15 year old Hannibal resident and transported her home while other officers searched for the suspect and conducted an investigation. A short time later the suspect was found in the area of Sherwood Estates and taken into custody. The suspect is a 33 year old rural Hannibal man.
