Redwood City Police have made headway in the unsettling Red Morton Park restroom incident where a man reportedly entered the women's facilities with intentions far removed from nature's calling. On Sunday, a Vacaville resident became the victim of an invasion of privacy at approximately 2:46 p.m. Her scream drew the immediate attention of her spouse and kin, prompting them to confront the alleged perpetrator. The sequence of events led to the suspect, identified as Wilson Velasquez Martinez, 32, fleeing the area in a blue Honda Fit before law enforcement could intervene, according to a report by the Redwood City Police Department.
Diligence in investigative follow-up cast a light upon Wilson Velasquez Martinez, a Redwood City inhabitant, tethering him to the violation at hand. Martinez faced an arrest reflective of their incisive work, awarded a $25,000 warrant for violating Penal Code 647(j)(3) – a blatant disregard for personal sanctity through illegal recording in a restroom. Officers managed to arrest Martinez yesterday without further drama, the Redwood City Police Department reported. With the suspect detained, officers also executed a search warrant at his home, burrowing deeper into the ongoing investigation.
The police urge anyone with more information on this case to step forward. They offer contact through their direct line at (650) 780-7100 and an anonymous tip line at (650) 780-7107.
