The woman was in her yard when Brown made a noise to get her attention.  She says he pulled down his pants when she looked in his direction.  The woman also says she has seen Brown expose himself to her and other neighbors before.  She says she reported the incident because she was concerned that neighborhood children might witness similar incidents .

The second incident was Aug. 1, according to police.

A woman was walking her dog, passing the sidewalk in front of Brown’s house.  She says Brown was in his home with no clothes on, standing in front of a large window that faces the street.
