The woman called police Monday evening to report that a man approached her in a Ralph's parking lot as she was taking groceries to her car.
When she got into her car, the suspect, later identified as Garnett York, allegedly unzipped his pants and started fondling himself as he looked directly at the woman, according to police.
York left the scene by the time police arrived, but they located him a few blocks away.
He was booked into Ventura County Jail for indecent exposure.
