Houston police have re-released a composite sketch Friday of a man suspected of impersonating a police officer and pulling over a woman whom he then kidnapped and sexually assaulted.

There is still an ongoing search for the man.

The 27-year-old woman was driving in west Houston about 3 a.m. April 17 when a black Ford Crown Victoria with emergency equipment and white lettering pulled her over near 9900 Sugar Branch, according to a Houston Police Department news release.

A muscular 6-foot-tall man wearing a dark blue uniform got out of the Crown Victoria and told the woman he pulled her over for a traffic violation, police said.

He then handcuffed her, put her in the back seat of his Crown Victoria and drove her to another location, where he sexually assaulted her.

A Houston police sketch artist created this rendering of what the suspect might look like. He is described as a light-skinned black man in his late 20s, about 6 feet tall, weighing about 240 pounds and with a muscular build.

Police ask anyone with information to call the HPD Special Victims Division at 713-308-1140 or Crime Stoppers at 713-222-TIPS (8477).
