Suspicious Behavior
There were two separate reports of incidents occurring involving a male touching himself around areas where there are young children that just came to our attention. On September 17, at approximately 4:05 p.m., a young patron of the library observed a light-skinned Hispanic or mixed race male, in his 40’s, touching his private area while walking around the children’s section of the library. On September 26, at approximately 5:50 p.m., on the church steps located at Maple and Tulip Avenue, a black male, 35-50 years old, 5’5-5’6, medium build, medium skin tone, wearing light khaki colored pants, white tee-shirt, a light pink colored jacket and a tan ball cap was seen walking up and down the steps of the church. He was described as having his zipper down with his hand inside the zipper. Units responded to both reports, however they were unable to make contact with the individual both times. It is unclear if the incidents are related and investigation continues. The Takoma Park Police Department encourages its citizens to report any such incidents immediately at 301-270-1100.
