Authorities are on the lookout for a man they say has gone into multiple stores in The Woodlands area, stripped himself naked and exposed himself to patrons.

Oak Ridge North Police Chief Andrew Walters sent out an advisory on Nixle asking city residents to be on the lookout for an unidentified man they have nicknamed “Wee Willie Dangles.” Walters described the suspect as a white male in his 50s, with “salt and pepper” hair, wearing eyeglasses.

Lt. Scott Spencer, with the Montgomery County Sheriff’s Office, said a man his late 50s was reported entering a store at Market Street in The Woodlands, matching the description and wearing “a thick beard.” He is alleged to have entered a Club Monaco on Six Pines Drive Thursday afternoon, strip off his clothing and run out of the store.

“It’s not a call we typically get, so it stands out,” Spencer said, suggesting that the Market Street streaker could be the same man from the Oak Ridge North incident.

Walters told the Villager that a “heavy-set” man is alleged to have entered a Kirkland’s store in Oak Ridge North on Wednesday afternoon, remove his shirt and shorts and “proceeded to walk laps in the store.”

“After a couple of passes around the scented candles and glassware, Wee Willie stopped near the the front door, put his shorts and shirt on and left,” Walters wrote in his advisory. “Police were called but he had disappeared. He did this time leave his image on the store video.”

Walters said authorities are not yet releasing the image, but are working to identify the man with witnesses who were present at the Kirkland’s store.

The man is alleged to have walked into two other stores in north Harris County, including the Kirkland’s in Spring and a Cilantro’s Mexican Restaurant inside a shopping center in Rayford, Walters said. Both incidents took place Wednesday morning, Walters added.

Walters said the man is simply walking into stores and stripping his clothes off.

“Our concern is if it starts to manifest in more violent actions or more aggressive actions toward people,” Walters said. “I would like to get him to stop obviously, it’s deviant behavior.”

For lewd conduct, the man can face various charges depending on who it is he exposed himself to, Walter said.

“If it was a child, it’s a felony. If it’s an adult, it’ll be a class B misdemeanor,” Walter said.

Police are working with two other agencies, including the Montgomery County and Harris County Sheriff’s offices to catch him, he said.

“So if any of y’all happen to see Wee Willie out and about, or know who Wee Willie may be, we’d sure appreciate the opportunity to talk with him about his habits,” Walters said in his Nixle advisory.
