Suspect in lewd conduct near WWU isn’t the prolific voyeur

Bellingham Police say a suspect arrested in an indecent exposure last weekend is not the man sought in a series of similar cases dating to late summer.

Javier A. Pequeno-Contreras, 26, of Bellingham, was booked Wednesday into Whatcom County Jail on suspicion of indecent exposure, said Bellingham Police Sgt. Claudia Murphy.

Murphy, who heads the family crimes unit, said Pequeno-Contreras was identified from video of the 10:30 p.m. Saturday incident at JJ’s Food Stop, 2219 Douglas Ave.
