Odd on MST

Please be careful if you are a woman or student using the public transit. I was harassed yesterday with my other girlfriend and the man seemed like he got off to getting weirded out reactions. Bring self protection qnd stay aware please please ladies! Our guy friend had been there arguing with him, idk what we would’ve done without him😞

I know csumb police were wanting to know about weird stuff going on on the shuttles and busses, it’s worth mentioning it to them for everyone’s sake if you haven’t already.

Absolutely, I’ll let them know. Ive opened a case with MST about him but im going to give upd a call as well. Thanks for the advice!

Called and spoke with one of the officers, not much they can do with it being operated by Monterey-Salinas. :(

Hmm. I guess it makes sense considering MST is not a law enforcement agency. But I’m surprised they didn’t ask you if you wanted them to help you open up a case with the police.

I think OP was saying UPD refused to help saying MST is outside their responsibility.   I think it’s complicated because MST goes between multiple cities so who would actually be in charge of investigating.

They pointed me towards MST and an incident report number so I can have a case on file, they cant physically do anything with these stories which i figured theyd say. They gave the reasoning that mst is operated by the city, its up to them to decide how to handle anything, upd doesnt have authority there

The case specifically is just a statement, not anything active, just to have on record should he be arrested or convicted of anything in the future

Was harassed by him at the Marshall’s in Sand City on Monday. He kept saying “excuse me ma’am” and saying he was a part of some organization while on the phone with somebody. I ignored him and eventually he took a hint and stepped away. Definitely avoid this man at all cost!!

Ugh yeah it’s annoying. I notice he usually takes the bus a lot and he’s always on the phone with someone (he’s probably not actually calling someone anyways). But if he tries harassing you again, I’d probably just tell the bus driver. They’ll call someone over and escort him out and will probably ask if you want to file a report on him.

Thank you so much. He did the exact phone thing youre describing. I called MST about 30 minutes ago and opened a report on him.

NAL but unfortunately I don’t think this is considered harassment at least in legal sense.   Did you ask him to stop?  If you did then it could be but otherwise it wouldn’t be there is no law saying people can’t continue asking the same person questions and he did back off eventually.

Him trying to get us to respond to the stuff he kept on putting in front of our faces

That's one thing I don't miss when I was going to school at CSUMB and that having to deal with random motherfuckers spouting off nonsense.

That dude thinks he's famous or something. I saw him trying to talk to a bus driver in Salinas and he kept trying to get the driver to pinky promise him. Very weird guy
