Man who masturbated on VTA bus arrested, sheriff’s office says

(KRON) — A man wanted for allegedly masturbating and exposing himself to several passengers on a Santa Clara Valley Transportation Authority bus on June 11 was arrested Friday.

The suspect,  28-year-old Carlos Cruz Varela of San Jose, was booked into the Santa Clara County Main Jail for indecent exposure, battery, and an outstanding burglary warrant, the Santa Clara County Sheriff’s Office said.

“The suspect engaged in lewd acts in front of passengers, exposing himself inches from a female rider, then moving to the front and assaulting the driver before getting off the bus near King Road and Tully Road,” SCCSO said.

Local citizens provided tips that helped authorities identify and ultimately catch Varela.

“Huge thanks to our community,” Santa Clara County Sheriff’s Office said. “We have zero tolerance for criminal behavior on our VTA buses and trains.”
