UPDATE: On Thursday, Fremont police announced the arrest of 31-year-old Joseph Ironteeth Angelle, a transient and  local car dealership mechanic. Investigators said Angelle was positively identified by numerous victims.

Angelle was booked into Santa Rita Jail on two counts of misdemeanor indecent exposure, one felony count of indecent exposure, one felony count of burglary, one misdemeanor count of lewd conduct in public, and one count of misdemeanor resisting arrest related to the cases in Fremont.  Additional charges could be added.

ORIGINAL STORY: 

Police in Pleasanton and Fremont would like to find a man with a distinctive Cherokee tribal tattoo who they suspect has burglarized homes in their cities – sometimes pausing to strip naked and display himself to unsuspecting residents.

A security camera captured the man’s image during a July 5 encounter in Pleasanton, a screen capture showing the distinct feather from ring tattoo on his upper right arm.

Residents have told police the man surveils them, creeps into their yards to watch them and then waves or otherwise draws attention to his genitals when observed. 

In one case he stood, naked and masturbating, at the door of a victim’s bedroom in Fremont.

Police said the suspect may be associated with a newer model white 4-door crossover vehicle. The vehicle is similar to a Cadillac XT5 or SRX.

If anyone has information about the identity of this man or if anyone believes they have captured similar behavior, please call the Pleasanton Police Department at (925) 931-5100 or the Fremont Police Department at (510) 790-6900.

    How creepy. Please tell me he’s not on his way to Lamorinda.

      For his sake we would hope not, Danielle. We know of some rather handy readers who would like some “alone time” with this fellow prior to police arrival.

    Kinda looks like Adam Sandler, at least from the neck up…

      We know, right? We had a couple of offline “Happy Gilmores” but weren’t Sandler-savvy enough to make that connection!

    Hope he pays us a visit down here. I’ve got a Rottweiler just dying to meet him.

    Maybe its some sort of Cherokee tribal thing? No?

    • NEWS24-680 on Jul 11, 2018 at 2:06 pm

      We just can’t see native peoples indulging in this sort of thing, Kaye.

    This guy is definitely taking “The Flash” too far.

      And don’t think that didn’t cross our minds, gfulch! Going to have to watch our advertising messaging!

    There’s nothing funny about sex offenders.

      There’s nothing funny about sex offenses, but several offenders are hilarious. Louis C.K. and Al Franken come to mind (Bill Cosby, not so much).

        Comedians are hilarious – but what does that have to do with “lewd” visitors? Do you want “lewd” female sex offenders visiting your home? How’s that camera coming along?

        • Bob Powers on Jul 12, 2018 at 11:11 am

          Female….. ?? Are you able to set that up? BTW, “Comedians are hilarious”…. not Louis C.K. !!
