Alleged LACC parking lot masturbator

A young, Latino male allegedly masturbated outside the car of student Beatrice Alcala in the Los Angeles City College parking lot on Monday, and Alcala -- a graphic designer for the student newspaper -- had the presence of mind to videotape part of the incident. (See video on next page.)

The suspect was ID'd as 37-year-old La Crescenta resident Jason Kies. The LAPD somehow came upon him as a suspect, it says, and put him under surveillance, at which point he was caught allegedly tracking a jogger in La Crescenta:
