A man who police believe is behind a number of incidents in which women report going unconscious struck again last week, Racine police said.
Racine police have put out numerous warnings about a man they say has "met women on dating apps and victimizes them, resulting in financial loss." The most recent incident, which they say took place Thursday, marked the third woman to report falling unconscious in his presence.
"This is now the third woman that we know of, from other jurisdictions, who have ended up unconscious while being in Timothy Olson’s presence," Sgt. Kristi Wilcox with the Racine Police Department said in a release Monday.
Police identified 52-year-old Olson as a "wanted" person and said they are cautioning women in Racine County as they ask for the public's help in finding him.
According to authorities, Olson used dating sites under the alias Tim Wilson and has active felony warrants for five counts of felony personal ID theft and financial gain out of the Mount Pleasant Police Department.
"He also is known to frequent bars," an alert from Racine police states as the department said they they are seeking to speak with Olson about "a similar incident out of our jurisdiction."
According to authorities, Olson has ties to southeastern Wisconsin and northern Illinois.
