The Antioch Police Department is seeking witnesses and possible additional information related to an indecent exposure incident reported on Tuesday, March 3, 2026, at approximately 8:00 a.m. near a bus stop at Buchanan Road and Delta Fair Boulevard.
An 18-year-old woman reported that a tan 2000 Toyota Avalon drove past her multiple times as she walked to the bus stop. After she arrived, the driver parked nearby, sat on the bench next to her, and exposed himself while masturbating in her presence.
Antioch police officers identified the suspect as Armando Cruz Castro, 54, of Pittsburg. Officers later located Castro and arrested him for a violation of California Penal Code section 314.1 (indecent exposure/masturbation in public).
Investigators believe there may be additional witnesses or individuals who experienced a similar encounter but have not yet reported it.
Anyone who witnessed this incident, observed the vehicle in the area between approximately 7:45 a.m. and 8:15 a.m., or experienced a similar encounter with this individual in Antioch or nearby areas is encouraged to contact Officer Kyle Smith at (925) 778-2441 or ksmith@antiochca.gov.
Suspect description: Hispanic male wearing a light-colored baseball hat, orange zip-up sweatshirt, gray shirt, and blue/green plaid pajama pants.
I think many if not most women have had this happen to them. I can’t help but wonder how many never report it.
