Detectives Ask for Help Identifying Man Exposing Himself in Apartment Complex

Posted on by

West Springfield Police District – Detectives from our Major Crimes Bureau are asking for the community’s help identifying a man believed to be responsible for multiple incidents of exposing himself in an Annandale apartment complex. The first incident was reported on May 17 when a man was seen masturbating in an apartment building’s vestibule in the 4400 block of Island Place. A woman saw the man and quickly entered a storage room, locking the door behind her. The man was seen on a doorbell camera peering into the storage room through a hole in the door. He left the area prior to officer’s arrival.  

Detectives later learned that earlier in that day, a woman encountered the man in the vestibule of an apartment building in the 7900 block of Dassett Court in Annandale. The woman locked herself into a storage closet after the man refused to let her leave the building. The woman was not physically harmed in that incident.

The man was again observed on May 18 in a stairwell in the 7800 block of Dassett Court. A woman encountered the man who lunged at her and grabbed her before running from the area.

On June 1, the man was seen in the 4400 block of Briarwood Court masturbating behind a building while looking into an apartment window. Police were summoned by a neighbor, but the man left the area prior to police’s arrival.

Officers from our West Springfield Police District have saturated the area attempting to identify the man responsible for these incidents.

The suspect has been described as a black man in his late teens to early 20s. He is approximately 6’ with a slim build. The suspect was wearing blue pajama pants pictured above in each case. Detectives are asking anyone with information about this suspect to please call our Major Crimes Bureau at 703-246-7800, option 3.
