The Douglas County Sheriff’s Office said both women woke up when someone was rubbing their feet and confronted the person before they fled.
Forensics were used to identify a suspect as Gonzales, a resident of Atwater, Calif., as he is known to local law enforcement in Atwater and Merced County as a suspect in multiple incidents allegedly involving trespassing, stealing women’s shoes and sexual self-gratification.
The sheriff’s office added that the alleged crimes appeared to be “escalating in nature.”
The condos were at the California-Nevada state line in South Lake Tahoe.
