Johnson said doesn’t mean to scare the woman involved in these cases and he has never tried to hurt them, he said.

But police worry that a similar incident could escalate.

"Some of these people never move beyond what they’re doing, similar to window peekers," Roeder said. "And some, you know, graduate on to bigger and worse things.

"It’s always concerning whether he’s going to do something more serious.”

He was ticketed by police on June 16 after a woman reported a hand reaching out from under her car and trying to grab her leg in an apartment complex parking lot near 74th and O streets.

Johnson had been out of jail only two days after being jailed for seven days connected to another incident on March 21 at a Lincoln Wal-Mart.

That case remains pending. City prosecutors are seeking jail time this time after a judge fined Johnson $150 for a similar incident from June 2015 at TJ Maxx.

Johnson said he has sought help in the past and was seeing a counselor in 2014 before financial issues made continued treatment unaffordable.

He hopes to find affordable counseling before he gets into further trouble.

Asked if he thinks it will happen again, Johnson said “if I get the help that I need, no.”
