ST. PETERSBURG, FLORIDA — A 62-year-old man has been arrested on charges that he stalked and harassed a 15-year-old boy, Pinellas Sheriff's deputies said.

Deputies said the suspect, of 4600 67th St. N, first approached the teenager on Dec. 13 as the boy rode his bike through a parking lot at 4380 66th St. N. From the drivers' seat of his 1998 dark green Kia Sportage, he offered the boy $100 in exchange for a sex, deputies said. The boy was frightened and fled, but the man continued to trail him, circling the area and eventually following him to a friends' house, deputies said.

The next day, the suspect was walking in the same area and again followed the boy, deputies said. The teenager ran to a business and told the security guard, who called deputies.

Detectives from the sheriff's crimes against children unit were able to identify the man based on information they received about his car. On Tuesday, after he voluntarily came to the sheriff's office in Largo, Price was arrested on one count of lewd and lascivious conduct and one-count of aggravated stalking, deputies said.

The man was being held at the Pinellas County Jail Tuesday night on $30,000 bail.
