On Tuesday, February 15, 2022 at approximately 10:45 a.m., detectives assigned to the Dartmouth Police Department Community Impact Unit arrested Noah GARRIS, 25, of Carroll Street, New Bedford, on a warrant associated with two (2) incidents that occurred on Monday, February 14, 2022, during which time he allegedly exposed his genitals to two (2) different woman in two (2) different retail parking lots in Dartmouth.
GARRIS was successfully identified as the suspect after patrol officers gathered statements and vehicle information, and reviewed video footage.
After an arrest warrant was secured for GARRIS, he was taken into custody without incident outside of his home.
According the Chief Brian P. LEVESQUE, “I applaud my patrol officers, detectives, and dispatchers for the quick identification and arrest of this sick individual. There is absolutely no place for this brazen and predatory behavior in our town, and I assure the citizens that I, along with every member of this department, will use every available resource to swiftly take individuals, such as GARRIS, out of circulation.”
Would you kindly publish or notify the public of the location or address of the retail parking lot in Dartmouth where these lewd exposure incidents took place. There is no mention of the ages of the women who were the subject of these exposures. I’m an elderly woman that is often approached at my vehicle for monetary donations especially at Stop & Shop or near the Mall main entrance near Santander Bank. It is very scary with often no one else around. One time is more than enough, however, this seems to be a persistent occurrence. More needs to be done to protect the public at these locations. It is very unnerving and scary to navigate from the vehicle to the entrance of these places and also while returning to the car. Please let us know where extra caution is advised. It is important to the vulnerable. Much Thanks
