Dude, just get drunk and ignore your family on your day off like regular guys.
Detective Robert Francis was charged with four counts public lewdness after it was discovered that he would look into women’s windows and masturbate — an act that he had done many times before. Detectives at the Rockville Police Department actually got three reports of a man who would shine a light in an unsuspecting woman’s window, only to begin touching himself. Once the woman ran for help, this creep would flee.
And after two months of looking for the dude, the investigation led to Francis, a cop. Awkward.
“Same M.O. male exposing himself, getting the attention of a female resident,” Rockville Police Department Commissioner Charles Gennario said. “When she looked, he would start masturbating. When she would go to get help, he would run away.”
Francis, who has been on the force for 17 years, was caught when police learned of a suspicious person in someone’s driveway, and was arrested before he could run away. Again.
The detective, who is married with kids, didn’t really have a reason for why he kept doing this.
“He kept telling investigative detectives that he was going through tough times,” Gennario said. “To really tell you the truth, at this point I spoke to my detective just before we came in here and he was concerned that he may harm himself…he said he has done this in other jurisdictions.”
And it gets more sick: some of Francis’ victims were just girls in high school. Gross.
Francis of course was suspended and stripped of his gun.
