Ronald P. Jakubowski, 50, was charged with harassment, a fourth-degree crime, Lakewood Capt. Gregory Staffordsmith said. The incident happened Tuesday. Police were called to the area of 6th Street and Madison Avenue on a report of a luring attempt, and Patrolman Justin Pederson located the victim, a 15-year-old girl, on 7th Street near Madison Avenue. Further investigation by Detective Eric Cicerello revealed the girl was walking alone on 6th Street she was approached by a 2001 blue Ford pickup truck operated by Jakubowski. As he got closer, he intentionally made some harassing comments "with the purpose to cause alarm and for self gratification," Staffordsmith said. He did not describe the comments.

The frightened victim ran but Jakubowski followed her in his truck. He was later stopped by the police as he was attempting to leave the area. Patrolman Sherry Jones located the pickup truck on River Avenue and pulled it over in the CVS parking lot at 596 River Ave., Staffordsmith said.
