CONCORD, N.C. — A 66-year-old man was arrested after he was seen behind a mall dumpster with a minor Thursday, police said.
An investigation sparked into Ricky McClellan after the police department received a tip of suspicious activity between an older man and a younger child behind a dumpster near Carolina Mall. Following interviews, investigators determined that McClellan victimized the child he was with on June 24.
The Concord Police Department arrested McClellan for one count of indecent liberties with a minor.
Police are investigating McClellan’s past actions after the interview due to him being suspected of victimizing other children as far back as the late 1980’s. He also claims to have been affiliated with the Boy Scouts of America for the past 40 years.
The public is encouraged to report any criminal activity they’re aware of involving McClellan. McClellan is currently being held under $75,000.00 secure bond in the Cabarrus County Jail.
The Concord Police Department asks for anyone with information that may aid in this investigation to call the Concord Police Department @ 704-920-5000 or Cabarrus Area Crime Stoppers @ 704-93-CRIME.
