CONTRA COSTA COUNTY (BCN) — A Walnut Creek man was arrested Wednesday morning on suspicion of battery, indecent exposure, sexual battery, and engaging in lewd conduct, Contra Costa County sheriff’s officials said.
On Aug. 22 at about 9:07 p.m., a woman shopping at Safeway in Alamo noticed that a man was following her.
The man masturbated next to her in the store aisle, according to sheriff’s officials.
When she turned to the man and questioned him, he quickly left the store.
Photos and a video of the suspect posted to social media resulted in the suspect being identified as 22-year-old Nicholas Daigle of Walnut Creek.
Detectives arrested Daigle at his home without incident, sheriff’s officials said.
After being interviewed, Daigle was booked into the Martinez Detention Facility on $5,000 bail.
