An 18-year-old Lorton man was reporting a robbery when Prince William County police realized he matched the description of a suspect in a sexual battery case and promptly took him into custody, police said Thursday.
Joshua David Zemaitis reported to police that he had his cell phone and personal documents stolen by a group of men while he walking behind Prince William Square shopping center.
But as he was giving police a report, they recognized him as the suspect in a Jan. 12 incident in which police said he groped a 37-year-old Woodbridge woman.
The woman was walking on the 14000 block of Kramer Place in Woodbridge when a man approached her from behind and asked for directions. The suspect then inappropriately touched her before running away, police said.
Zemaitis is being held on $2,000 bail and has been charged with sexual battery.
