COLLIER COUNTY, Fla. – A jogger snapped a video of a man she said exposed himself to her and she told deputies this was not the first time that’s happened. The woman was jogging with a friend Monday night on Triangle Boulevard in East Naples when she said the man jumped out from some bushes. The woman took cell phone video and called 911. CALLER: “Hi. I just wanted to report I think I have a stalker. There’s some guy that every single time I go running he pops up in front of me and masturbates in front of me.” The jogger told deputies the man is white, in his 40s with sandy blonde hair. He’s about six feet tall and 225 pounds. She says he drove off in a four door sedan with a University of Miami license plate in the front. The woman said she’s been victimized before. She told a 911 dispatcher another man exposed himself to her in the same area two weeks ago. CALLER: “A couple of weeks ago I was running and I heard something in the bushes and I look over and there some guy leaning over and it looked like he was, but I couldn’t tell because it was covered by the bushes. Then, the next time I saw him pop out in front of me and he just started masturbating in front of me and I got in my car and drove away.” Anyone with information is asked to call the Collier County Sheriff’s Office at 239-252-9300. Or to remain anonymous and be eligible for a reward contact Crime Stoppers at 800-780-TIPS (8477).
