Davis police received three reports of indecent exposure over a two-day period this week, and are investigating whether all three might be related.
On Sunday, two women reported they were at a car wash in the area of Lake and Covell boulevards at about 2 p.m. when a Spanish-speaking man in a black minivan asked them for directions. When they approached him, they saw he was masturbating inside the vehicle, Lt. Tom Waltz said.
Two more incidents were reported between noon and 2:40 p.m. Monday near Sycamore Lane and Russell Boulevard. In one case, the man masturbated as he drove alongside a woman jogging on Sycamore; in the other, the suspect exposed himself while asking two women for directions, according to police reports.
The victims described the suspect as a Hispanic male in his mid-20s with short dark hair and a slender build, driving a gold or silver sedan. However, Waltz said it remained unknown Tuesday whether the same person committed all three acts.
Anyone with information about these incidents is asked to contact the Davis Police Department at 530-747-5400.
Davis police arrested another man, 24-year-old Darren Dockter Jr. of Sacramento, earlier this month on suspicion of committing multiple acts of indecent exposure in the downtown area. He remains in Yolo County Jail custody and has a court appearance set for Friday.
