DESTIN – A 69-year-old man was arrested after he allegedly approached one woman at a store and made a lewd remark, then fondled the buttocks of an employee.
On March 10 an Okaloosa County Sheriff’s deputy was summoned to the Target store in Destin to investigate the incident. A female customer told the deputy she and her son were in the women’s section when a man approached and started whispering to her. She backed away. The man continued to approach and said, “You’ve got (sperm) on your thumb.” The man then continued through the women’s section.
Moments later the customer said she saw a Target employee who appeared to be upset fleeing the women’s section, while the man zigzagged through the girl’s clothing section. The employee followed the man and got the attention of male employees.
The employee said she was hanging up a dress when a man wearing a green shirt, red pants and carrying a Walkman radio walked up behind her and grabbed her buttocks. He said, “Move that ass, girl!”
She ran to notify store managers.
Another deputy spotted the suspect’s vehicle traveling east on U.S. Highway 98. It was stopped in Walton County. The man was brought back to the store, and the employee positively identified him as the man who grabbed her.
The man denied entering Target.
He was charged with battery and has an April 2 court date.
