LAKEPORT, Calif. – The Lakeport Police Department has received another report of an indecent exposure case – the second case in the span of two days that has occurred within the city – and police believe the two incidents may be related.
Lakeport Police Chief Brad Rasmussen reported that at 10:50 a.m. Wednesday his officers received a report of a male subject exposing himself to an adult female victim at South Main Street and Lakeport Boulevard.
The female victim told police that prior to the exposure incident she was driving south into the city of Lakeport from the North Lakeport area and noticed a newer model blue Chevrolet Impala – with
an air fin on the trunk – traveling directly behind her, according to Rasmussen.
After reaching the intersection of South Main Street and Lakeport Boulevard, the woman saw the Impala pull up directly alongside and left of her vehicle and she heard a horn honk coming from her left side, Rasmussen said.
The victim looked to her left and saw the driver of the Impala masturbating while looking directly at her, according to the report.
The suspect driver was described as being a white male adult, 30 to 35 years of age, thin build and wearing a black baseball cap, sunglasses, white t-shirt and blue jeans.
Rasmussen said that description has similarities to the suspect in an indecent exposure case reported on Tuesday.
In that case, a woman was jogging in the area of Second and Tunis streets early Tuesday morning when she said a man ran up behind her while masturbating.
That suspect was described as a white male in his early to mid 20s, approximately 6 feet tall with a thin build, with short to medium length dark brown wavy hair and no facial hair, wearing a loose fitting, dark navy blue hooded sweatshirt and faded blue jeans.
Because of the similarities in the descriptions, Rasmussen said police believe the two incidents are related.
The Lakeport Police Department is asking for anyone with information on the two incident to contact the agency as soon as possible.
This investigation is ongoing and officers are currently following up on leads.
