• Literally. Sean Edward Uribe, 35, was arrested in the wake of two incidents at Miami clothing stores, The Smoking Gun reported.
During the first encounter, at a Ross Dress for Less, Uribe allegedly used a medical syringe to squirt a substance on the back of the shorts of a juvenile as he recorded with his phone, police said.
Witnesses alerted store employees and the victim as Uribe fled the scene.
Then, at a Marshalls store, Uribe allegedly struck again, this time targeting an adult woman to "spray an unknown substance on the victim's left buttocks area," police said.
When Uribe was taken into custody, he confessed and said the liquid in the syringes was moisturizing lotion. Then he called his father, as police listened, and instructed him to go to his house and remove hard drives.
"Put them under lock and key," he said.
Officers got there first and seized the drives, along with loaded syringes.
So far, he's been charged with battery on a child, two misdemeanor battery counts and tampering with evidence. [The Smoking Gun, 9/19/2024}
