If a picture's worth a thousand words, several women in Mesa, Ariz., were definitely not interested in what Jeffrey Pritchert's photographs had to say.
According to police documents, Pritchert, 41, admitted to police that he left photos of his genitals on the windows of cars belonging to about 100 women in the Mesa area.
Police had received at least 30 reports since 1999 from women who found photos of a man's private part on their cars. But Pritchert became a suspect after he exposed himself to two separate women in late 2004 and left his DNA at the crime scenes.
The DNA from the two samples was submitted to the Combined DNA Index System, and last March investigators found a match that linked the samples to Pritchert, the report said.
Investigators placed the suspect under surveillance and caught him in the act of placing a photo on a woman's car April 12.
Pritchert was arrested and charged with public display of explicit sexual materials, public sexual indecency, and possession of dangerous drugs and drug paraphernalia. He is currently in the Maricopa County Jail on $18,000 bond.
