HPD: Man exposes himself to females
Northwest Houston residents warn others
Man seen exposing himself to women
A man exposing himself has women in a northwest Houston neighborhood on edge.
The condo complex where residents said they've seen the man is in the 5600 block of Birchmont near Antoine.
Bert Hogard hasn't seen the man, but several of his female neighbors have.
"He's just trolling the neighborhood and exposing himself to women, especially younger women," said Hogard.
To get the word out, Hogard hit the streets of his neighborhood and put fliers up on fences, front doors and car windshields.
"We have a lot of single women living here," he said. "They're worried and they don't like it."
One neighbor snapped a photo of him on her cell phone and put that picture on the fliers. They want anyone with information on who he might be to call the police.
"It makes me very nervous and makes me wonder what's going on with people today," said Maria Perkins.
Perkins said the man has done more than just expose himself.
"He was pleasuring himself for no apparent reason, just standing out there in the middle of the parking lot," she said.
The Houston Police Department told KPRC Local 2 they have received three calls in eight days from people who live in that community. One call was for a man exposing himself, the other two calls were for a suspicious person seen in the area. By the time police arrived, the man was gone.
"People, as a community, need to come together as well as inform the cops, the policemen, to come out and investigate more," resident John Wells said.
Officers ask anyone with information to call Crime Stoppers at 713-222-TIPS.
