FAIRFIELD, Conn. – A Bridgeport man was charged with exposing himself to a woman Fairfield’s Kohl’s department store earlier this year, police say.
A shopper at the Tunxis Hill store reported the incident April 8, according to police reports. While browsing the store she turned around to see a man exposing himself to her and masturbating, police say.
Store security gave police a license plate number for the suspect’s car, which was traced to a Bridgeport address. Police also found that the owner had been charged with similar incidents at Kohl’s and Marshall’s in 2010, according to police records. The owner was not home at the time, but police issued an arrest warrant for the man in April.
Jean Leconte, 25, of Bridgeport turned himself in at Fairfield Police headquarters Thursday after learning of the warrant. He was charged with public indecency, obscenity and a breach of the peace. His bond was set at $1,000, and he is due in court on June 6.
