Simpson Street.<\/p>\n<p class=\"mb-4 text-lg md:leading-8 break-words\">She said a man, who was later identified as Jibril, walked up to her, told her multiple times that he didn\u2019t care how old she was, and tried to get her into his vehicle, according to court documents. He also allegedly asked her where she goes to school so he could pick her up and drop her off.<\/p>\n<p class=\"mb-4 text-lg md:leading-8 break-words\">Jibril also gave her a Pennsylvania Lottery Powerball ticket on which he had written his phone number, police said.<\/p>\n<p class=\"mb-4 text-lg md:leading-8 break-words\">The charging documents show store surveillance video recorded Jibril walking past the girl as he entered the CVS, then going to a magazine rack for less than a minute before he grabbed the lottery ticket. He could be seen talking with the girl for roughly seven minutes.<\/p>\n<p class=\"mb-4 text-lg md:leading-8 break-words\">The girl identified Jibril in a photo lineup, and police spoke with him over the phone. He claimed he didn\u2019t remember whether he was in Pennsylvania on the day of the incident, according to charging documents.<\/p>\n<p class=\"mb-4 text-lg md:leading-8 break-words\"><a href=\"#sailthru-signup-widget\" data-ylk=\"elm:link;elmt:article_link;slk:Close;itc:0;sec:content-canvas\" data-yga=\"{&quot;yLinkElement&quot;:&quot;context_link&quot;,&quot;yModuleName&quot;:&quot;content-canvas&quot;,&quot;yLinkText&quot;:&quot;Close&quot;}\" class=\"link \">Close<\/a><\/p>\n<p class=\"mb-4 text-lg md:leading-8 break-words\">Thanks for signing up!<\/p>\n<p class=\"mb-4 text-lg md:leading-8 break-words\">Watch for us in your inbox.<\/p>\n<p class=\"mb-4 text-lg md:leading-8 break-words\">Subscribe Now<\/p>\n<p class=\"mb-4 text-lg md:leading-8 break-words\">However, cell phone records show that he would have been in Mechanicsburg that day, police said.
