Public asked to help identify indecent exposure suspect

Police in Boulder have released a sketch of a male who witnesses say exposed himself to them outside Macy’s, located at 1900 29^th Street, on August 24, 2012. The incident happened around 1:00 p.m.

The two victims are females, 22 and 23 years old. They told investigators that they were sitting on a bench outside the department store when they noticed a male locking his bike at a bike rack near the parking garage. They say he stared at them as he walked up the stairs of the parking garage, and reappeared on the second floor where they could see him masturbating. They say he fully exposed himself to them. (The case number is 12-11459).

Police are trying to identify the male suspect. He is described as:

• White male
• 5’8” – 5’9” tall
• 130 lbs. – 160 lbs.
• Short, dark hair
• Between 20-and-24 years old
• “Scruffy” facial hair
• Wearing a gray shirt & either blue shorts or blue jeans, and carrying a backpack
• Riding a mountain bike

The mountain bike has been recovered by police and is being processed for evidence.

Another incident involving a similarly-described suspect occurred on August 18 in the 2600 block of Mapleton. Investigators are looking into the possibility that the two cases are related. (The Mapleton case number is 12-11092).

In the Mapleton incident, a female resident reported that a male suspect, riding a mountain bike, exposed himself while masturbating as she was doing yard work at 5:45 p.m. The suspect fled the area on the bike. In this case, the suspect was wearing a white shirt and long, checkered, light-colored shorts.
