Antioch PD Seeks Witnesses In Indecent Exposure Case
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.
I agree.
As a woman, I would think most women have never experienced this. It happens, but it’s not as common as brushing your teeth in the morning. To think most women have experienced this is illogical and absurd. Some will report it and some wont.

Consider yourself lucky if you have never had unwanted sexual advance made toward you.
I was referring to indecent exposure/masturbation in public, not men hitting on women. Have you heard of reading the article first before you comment and reading comprehension? Unbelievable.
Twice when I was a student in New York and once in Bahrain – more than enough for a lifetime.
Get them on video and prosecute prosecute prosecute. Sick freaks.
Once is too much but it happens a lot. Often it leads to something ebven more serious.
Give him a choice – lots of jail or ten minutes in a room full of victims with baseball bats.
I was always very careful and made sure I never got cornered and I was lucky. Some of my friends weren’t so lucky.
