In the post, police said they had received numerous calls about a man exposing himself near Huebner Road. This prompted officers to set up surveillance at the Landmark at Atrium Apartments, later catching Cruz in the act.

According to KSAT, 35-year-old Cruz is suspected of being tied to multiple flashing incidents at the apartment complex dating back to June. He even allegedly exposed himself to a group of children as they were getting on a bus.

Officials said Cruz tried running from the police and led officers on a brief chase before he was caught.
