He flashed two baristas. Now a Kennewick flasher exposed himself to a younger girl, police say

A Kennewick flasher who struck two coffee shops last month turned to a younger victim over the weekend and is using a different luxury car.

A 13-year-old girl told police a newer black Audi stopped next to her on Saturday near the corner of 19th Avenue and Vancouver Street. He asked the teen a lewd question, exposed himself and then drove away.

She wasn’t able to get the license plate number.

The heavyset man had brown hair tied back in a bun. Kennewick police said the description matched the suspect in a pair of similar incidents that happened last month.

In those cases, a man in his mid-20s or mid-30s approached two baristas on the same day in a white Cadillac with tinted windows. He ordered coffee and then exposed himself before driving away.

Anyone with information about either crime can call Kennewick police at 509-628-0333.
