New Port Richey, Florida - He's accused of doing dirty deeds on buses, the library, a Dollar General, a RaceTrac gas station and even up against a homeowner's sliding glass door.

And Pasco County detectives believe the mystery man riding the bus and exposing himself could possibly be a second person.

"We are looking into that possibility," Sheriff Chris Nocco told 10 News on Wednesday.

He is an African-American man, roughly in his 30s. Multiple surveillance images have been released.

TALLAHASSEE, Florida -- In 2012, Florida was a state where a lifeguard got
fired for saving a life, a woman got arrested for riding a manatee and a
man repeatedly used 911 as a phone sex service.

Think that's weird? It gets worse and more tragic.

Land O' Lakes, Florida -- Ray Charron spent several hours eluding Pasco deputies in a very unusual spot. He ran and climbed up in some trees!

On Friday, Nov. 16, around 2 p.m., Pasco County deputies say Charron pushed an adult off of the bike and loaded it in his pickup truck and took off.

When a deputy confronted Charron, he fought that deputy and decided the best way to avoid arrest for theft was to climb 30-foot high tree.

Lutz, Florida -- A man in jail for disorderly intoxication now faces more charges after a stolen iPhone was traced back to him.

The Pasco County Sheriff's Office says the phone's owner noticed it had been stolen from his car's glove compartment while it was parked outside the Whiskey Willy's Saloon on Sunday night in Lutz. When he tracked the phone through its GPS app, it showed it was located at the Land O'Lakes Jail.

Pasco deputies say the phone made its way behind bars thanks to 22-year-old Christopher Lindsey.
