Police said the man seemed surprised by the woman.

About 45 minutes later, it was the same story in a home on Cherbourg Street: A naked man allegedly breaking in, and again confronted by a woman living alone.

Once again, he fled before police arrived. Officers tried searching the area with the help of a police dog, but couldn’t find him.

However, the descriptions given by both women, along with forensic evidence left at the scenes, led police to make an arrest late Tuesday.

Michel Beauchamp Junior, 23, was charged with breaking and entering and committing an indecent act.

Police say the man allegedly targeted women living alone and got in through unlocked doors or windows in order to watch them as they slept, but ran off as soon as they woke up. Neither woman was injured.
