EAST HAVEN — A 34-year-old New Haven man was arrested Tuesday after witnesses reported he was following women around a hobby store while appearing to masturbate underneath his clothing.
Dylan Alexander Derosa was taken into custody at his workplace in the same plaza as Hobby Lobby at 68 E. Frontage Road, according to East Haven police.
Officers responded to the store after receiving complaints about the lewd behavior.
Video evidence supported witness accounts, police said.
