I'm sure many of you have run into this guy over the years. I'm surprised it took this long for him to make the news.

BATON ROUGE - One man is going around asking people for money under the guise that he's a salesman or medical professional needing help traveling to a neighboring city. People say he has been doing this for years and the time has come for it to stop.
One woman, who does not wish to be identified, spoke with 2 On Your Side with a warning message to others. She is the admin of a Facebook group doing just that.
"He's been doing this for years, it usually involves him either being a doctor or a pharmaceutical sales rep involved with New Orleans, Metairie, or Lafayette," she said.
The East Baton Rouge Sheriff's Office identifies him as Kevin Wood. The Facebook group is called "Where's Kevin?" and has nearly 3,000 followers. The Nextdoor app also has frequent postings about Kevin Wood.
"We've had people come forward from over five years ago about their stories," she said.
Facebook group members have recently spotted him driving a gray-blue Mustang, other times he's walking down the street or sitting in an area around Costco. Members say he's almost always asking for gas money and if you don't have cash he'll request Venmo or Cash App.

He keeps banging on windows and being aggressive somebody will end that shite eventually.
That dude needs an arse whipping till he can’t walk.

Bums with smartphones and bank accounts. Poor children in India go to sleep on dirt dreaming they could one day have the good fortune to become a bum in the USA

He doesn't look homeless. Why would anyone give that guy money?

He allegedly lives in one of those shite houses on Jefferson across from Jefferson Baptist Church. Supposedly some old trust fund baby owns 3-4 houses and rents them out by the room and then smokes crack with his “tenants”. Kevin is one of his crack smoking cash cows.

Really all you got to do is shoot his knees out and it'll stop all this mess.

I see people posting about this guy on Nextdoor. I drive through that area almost every day and I've never seen him

Pleated khakis with cuffs. Sweet.
