RUTLAND, Vt. - A man who police say exposed himself to two Victoria's Secret store clerks while trying on women's underwear faces two felony counts and a misdemeanor charge of retail theft. Police say Robert K. Scott, 47, went twice to the lingerie store in the Diamond Run Mall in April and May.
At his arraignment Monday, Scott was released on conditions, including that he abide by a curfew and stay away from the mall and the store.
The Rutland County Sheriff's Department, which provides security at the mall, investigated the incidents.
Sheriff's Deputy Andrew Cross wrote in a sworn statement that Scott went to the store on April 22 and told a female clerk he wanted to try on some lingerie and panty hose.
"Scott asked her to stay close by while he was in the dressing room," Cross wrote," adding that "Scott then had her look at him to see how the items looked on him." When she looked, "she could tell he had no underwear on."
Scott returned to the store May 6, picked out several items, went into a dressing room and then began calling a female clerk for help.
Scott then opened the door, wearing a white top, red heels and no underwear, exposing himself to her, Cross wrote. The clerk said Scott made no attempt to cover himself, the affidavit stated.
The clerk called the sheriff's office, Cross arrived, went to the dressing room and told Scott to remove any clothing belonging to the store and put his own clothes back on.
Cross escorted Scott to the sheriff's office at the mall, pat-searched him and found him still to be wearing white underwear with a Victoria's Secret security tag attached.
"When I asked Scott about the underwear with the security tag, he stated, 'I didn't mean to take them,'" the deputy wrote.
Maybe he wanted to become a Norteña?
