Police Blotter for July 19 - Something No One Wants to See While Shopping

Monday's press briefing at the Fairfield Police Department included the following cases:

A 43-year-old Bridgeport man was arrested on a third-degree larceny charge Friday after he allegedly stole a 1998 Nissan Maxima from the home of a relative on Morehouse Drive in Fairfield.

Police said Darrell Latimer, of Elmwood Avenue, was arrested on a warrant in Bridgeport Superior Court, where he was appearing on unrelated charges. His bond was set at $1,500, police said.

Police said Latimer stole the car, valued at $1,000, from his mother-in-law on April 10, and that his mother-in-law wanted to press charges.

A 34-year-old Fairfield woman accused of spraying suntan lotion on her ex-boyfriend's car and denting its hood during a dispute Sunday night was arrested on a breach-of-peace charge.

Jennifer Lauzon, of Warsaw Street, was released on a promise to appear in Bridgeport Superior Court Monday.

Police said the ex-boyfriend went to her home about 9:47 p.m. to drop off her 15-year-old daughter and that she was late in returning home. A dispute arose, and she squirted suntan lotion on his car, slammed her beach bag on the hood and hit him several times with the bag, police said.

Three Apple iPads, valued at a total $2,281, were reported stolen from an unlocked 2007 Toyota Prius parked at the Faifield Cinemas at Bullard Square on Black Rock Turnpike in Fairfield on June 12. The theft was reported to police Sunday.

Police said two iPads, valued at $728 each, were stolen from a rear headrest and the other iPad, valued at $825, was stolen from the front passenger seat. The theft took place sometime between 1:30 p.m. and 3:30 p.m. June 12 and was reported to police at 5:22 p.m. Sunday, police said.

An iPhone valued at $145, a black leather case for the iPhone, valued at $20, and an unknown amount of cash were reported stolen from an unattended handbag at Jennings Beach in Fairfield sometime between 8:10 p.m. and 9:05 p.m. Sunday, police said.

A 40-year-old woman reported to police that an unidentified man brushed against her while she was in the pillow section at Kohl's, a department store on Tunxis Hill Road in Fairfield, on Saturday afternoon and then exposed himself and masturbated.

Police said the Bridgeport woman thought it odd that the man brushed against her when there was plenty of room for him to pass without touching her, and, when she looked at him, he exposed himself and began to masturbate. She walked away from him, saw him leave the store about 3:08 p.m. and called police, police said.

An assistant manager at Kohl's saw the man drive off in a dark gray Nissan, possibly an Altima. He did not buy anything at the store, police said. The man was described by police as black, about 6 feet, three inches tall and in his early 20s. He had a slim build, short hair and medium complexion, police said.
