N.J. Man Accused Of Squeezing Woman's Toes At Supermarket Arrested, Charged

MOUNT LAUREL, N.J. (CBSNewYork/AP) - A man suspected of squeezing a woman's toes in the parking lot of a southern New Jersey supermarket earlier this month has been captured.

Mount Laurel police say 30-year-old Derrick Johnson Jr., of Mount Laurel, was arrested Tuesday and charged with harassment.

Authorities say the incident occurred Oct. 4, when Johnson approached a woman who was loading groceries into her vehicle. After complimenting the woman on her toes, he allegedly touched and squeezed two of them.

When the startled woman told Johnson to stop touching her, he allegedly told her he was obsessed with toes and ran off.

A telephone number for Johnson could not be located Wednesday. It was not known if he had retained an attorney.
