Tacoma police nab man accused of sexual misconduct
TACOMA, Wash. -- The man accused of masturbating on several Tacoma business women was arrested Friday afternoon.
An officer spotted a man who matched the description of the suspect just before 4 p.m. and, after a short foot pursuit, arrested him at 6th Avenue and Martin Luther King Way in Tacoma.
Female business owners in Tacoma had been using Facebook to warn each other about a sex criminal who had committing lewd acts inside their stores.
The man's modus operandi was to enter a store run by a woman and quietly knock merchandise to the ground. When the woman would bend down to pick up the item, the man would walk behind her and masturbate.
The owner of a Tacoma antique store who was victimized by the man had no idea anything had happened until a customer pointed it out.
"As I walked past, the gentleman goes, 'Ma'am, I don't know if you know it, but you have something all over your back,'" she said.
The suspect, who has not been identified, was booked into jail and is facing two counts of assault, according to police.

@Skeetball An what color did you think that guy in the bunker who killed a bus driver and kidnapped a kid was. BTW, they already said in the initial story that he is black.
Just hang him
Automatic grounds for castration.
He should be charged with sex crimes because, provided he is found guilty, that's exactly what he did. His assaults were sexual in nature and sexually motivated, and I don't think just calling it assault will give these women justice.
