On August 22, 2019, at 2:03 p.m., officers from the Oxnard Police Department responded to the 900 block of South Ventura Road reference a report of a nude male masturbating in the laundromat.

Over the past three days, Brown has been arrested three times for similar indecent conduct. Below is a brief summary of the two additional incidents.

On August 20, 2019, at 2:26 p.m., officers responded to a call regarding Brown disturbing in the 900 block of South Ventura Road. During that incident, Brown was inside a laundry room, wasn’t wearing any pants, and was masturbating with his genitals exposed.
Given Brown’s pattern of significant indecent/ lewd activity over the past three days, Brown was booked in Ventura County Jail and officers requested his bail to be increased to $100,000.
