On Monday, July 1, 2013, at approximately 8:15 PM, a male Hispanic driving a white Toyota pick-up truck accosted a female juvenile and her younger brother as they were walking on Hubbard Street near Atlantic Boulevard in East Los Angeles.
The suspect slowed his truck and called to the female juvenile to look at him while he exposed himself. The female victim immediately dialed 9-1-1 using her cell phone and the suspect drove away.
The victims were able to obtain a partial license plate number from the suspect’s truck. East Los Angeles Sheriff's Station detectives were able to identify the truck and its registered owner, 42 year-old Suspect Oscar Manuel Iturralde.
On Wednesday, July 3, 2013, East Los Angeles Sheriff's Station detectives located the suspect at a residence and arrested him for Indecent Exposure and Stalking.
He was booked at the East Los Angeles Sheriff’s Station (http://www.EastLA.lasd.org) and is being held in lieu of $300,000.00 bail.
