Police seek identity of man who tried to take pictures under woman's skirt
CLEARLAKE, Calif. – The Clearlake Police Department is asking for the public's help in identifying a man who last week attempted to use a camera to take pictures under the skirt of a woman shopping at Walmart.
Sgt. Rodd Joseph said the disorderly conduct incident was reported last Thursday, June 12.
At around 6:30 p.m. that day two women were shopping together in the Walmart “households” area of the store, Joseph said.
While one of the women was reaching up in an attempt to get an item from a top display shelf, a male subject walked up and squatted down behind her. Joseph said the man was holding store merchandise which he used in an attempt to conceal a small camera.
The man positioned himself so he could place the camera up under the unsuspecting woman’s skirt in order to take a photograph. Joseph said the victim was unaware of the suspect’s actions at the time of the incident.
However the woman’s friend witnessed the incident and confronted the subject. The man denied his actions and began complementing the two women on how beautiful they were. Joseph said the subject then fled the store without being identified.
The subject is described as a light-skinned black male adult in his 30s, about 5 feet 11 inches tall, with an average build. He had very short, shaved and styled hair, according to Joseph.
The man was last seen wearing blue jeans and a dark colored T-shirt with a large white design on the front which read “DAD,” and driving a dark blue, newer model Jeep Liberty.
On Thursday, the Clearlake Police Department was able to secure video footage from Walmart of the crime, along with photographs of the subject both entering and leaving the store, which are shown here.
Anyone with information regarding this man's possible identity or current address are urged to contact Joseph at 707-994-8251, Extension 338. Callers may remain anonymous.

Clearlake Police K9 apprehends suspect wanted on warrant
CLEARLAKE, Calif. – A Clearlake man wanted on a local arrest warrant was taken into custody early Thursday through the efforts of a Clearlake Police K9 after attempting to flee officers.
Franklin Lowery, 39, was arrested following the brief pursuit by police K9 Harley, according to Sgt. Tim Hobbs.
In an early Thursday report Hobbs said that while he was on patrol at around 12:15 a.m. he contacted Lowery on Old Highway 53 near Lakeshore Drive.
He said Lowery was known to be on active California Department of Corrections and Rehabilitation parole for assault with a deadly weapon.
During a warrants check, dispatch advised Hobbs that Lowery had a parole warrant for his arrest. At that time, Officer Mike Ray was arriving with his K9 partner Harley, Hobbs said.
Shortly after dispatch mentioned the warrant, Lowery began running away across Old Highway 53 towards several nearby residences, according to Hobbs.
Due to the fact Lowery had a parole warrant for his arrest, was on parole for a violent felony, and was running away from officers, Hobbs said Officer Ray deployed Harley.
Once Harley was out of the patrol vehicle he quickly apprehended Lowery about 25 yards away, Hobbs said.
Hobbs said Lowery was arrested for the warrant and resisting arrest. During a search following his arrest, Lowery was found to be in possession of approximately 1 gram of methamphetamine.
Lowery sustained injuries which included several puncture wounds during the K9 apprehension. Hobbs said Lowery was transported to St. Helena Hospital Clear Lake for treatment and to be medically cleared for incarceration.
Lowery was still at the hospital shortly before 4 a.m. Thursday, but Hobbs said Lowery will be booked into the Lake County Jail once he is medically cleared for incarceration.
