The complainant told officers he saw the man’s genitalia and thought he was going to pee on his vehicle, so he called police.
Police found a man sitting on the fence, who fit the description, and arrested him, according to the report. Isais Gutierrez, 47, of Lowe St. in Norwalk, was released on a promise to appear in court on April 21.
Amazon scam
A man identifying himself as “Sam Rodgers” of Amazon called a Monroe woman to inform her someone in Arizona fraudulently used her account to purchase a $529 iPhone, before offering to help, and talking her into providing personal information over the phone.
The woman gave out both her and her husband’s Social Security numbers and their banking information, and allowed “Rodgers” to use TeamViewer software to gain remote access of her computer, police said.
