Towson University Students Report Mother Seeking Dates For Son

Ahead of Valentine's Day, a woman is trying to play matchmaker on the campus of Towson University.

Campus police say that on Feb. 6 and 7, students near Cook Library and the Center for the Arts reported being approached by an older woman who attempted to show them a picture on her cell phone and ask if they were interested in dating her son.

The woman is described as appearing to be in her 50s, with glasses, jeans and a striped long sleeve shirt with red trim, a multi-colored scarf, brown shows and a dark-colored coat.

After receiving multiple complaints from the mother's picks, campus police issued an "incident advisory" that included a link to pictures of the woman so that she might be identified. Chief Charles Herring said her reported behavior "may cause concern."

University officials say the woman isn't being sought for a criminal investigation, but they do want the third-party propositioning to stop. Anyone with information is asked to call campus police at 410-704-4444.
