Police in Lincolnton say they have arrested a man who sucked a woman’s toes at Walmart by claiming to be studying podiatry.
Michael Brown, of Concord, was arrested around 9 p.m. Thursday and charged with misdemeanor assault on a female. Officials say Brown is a registered sex offender.
Officers with the Lincolnton Police Department said the incident happened Monday around 11:15 a.m. when a man, who claimed he was a podiatrist student, started a conversation with a woman in the store.
That woman, Erika Porras, told police that he convinced her to try on several pair of shoes in the shoe department.
“At one point the suspect took the victim’s foot, put it into his mouth and sucked the victim’s toes,” the report states.
“I was shocked,” Porras told WBTV, “He asked me not to tell anyone and said he would pay for my groceries.”
