HOWELL – The Howell Police Department have released a statement asking for the community’s help identifying a man who exposed himself at the Howell Commons (Kohl’s parking lot) on March 14.

  According to police, this is the second incident this year, the first occurring on February 2 in the same shopping center.

  The victims told police that a male suspect pulled up to them, opened his driver side door and exposed his genitals to both of them. The suspect is described as a male in his 30s to early 40s, skinny and in shape, tan, possibly Hispanic, short spiky dark hair, facial scruff, but no beard.

  After reviewing surveillance footage, police observed the suspect’s car driving throughout the Target (Lanes Mill Marketplace) parking lot, pulling through spaces and stopping near cars, but the driver does not pick anyone up or exit the truck to go into any shops.

  The vehicle was identified to be a newer Toyota Tacoma SX model, dark grey or black. Police state that is not a very common Tacoma as it is the bare bones with the SX option which has black grill and rims.
