The Dalton Police Department says investigators are looking for additional victims after a 21-year-old Chattooga County man was arrested for allegedly performing lewd acts inside his vehicle while watching a jogger.
According to police, the incident happened Tuesday, April 7, along Walnut Avenue and Tibbs Road. Witnesses reported that a man—later identified as Nathaniel Willingham of Summerville—was watching a woman as she ran in the area.
The victim told investigators she noticed the suspect taking photos or videos of her with his phone while parked in a lot on West Walnut Avenue. She continued her run but later saw the same man again along Tibbs Road, where she says he was engaged in the same behavior. When she confronted him, she reported that he was performing a lewd act inside his vehicle.
The woman was able to take a photo of the suspect and his license plate and reported the incident to police the following day.
Using that license plate, investigators were alerted by an automated camera system that the vehicle had returned to Dalton. Officers later conducted a traffic stop, and during their investigation, police say the suspect admitted to performing lewd acts while watching multiple people in the area.
Willingham was arrested and charged with four counts of lewd acts and one count of stalking.
Investigators believe there may be additional victims who have not yet come forward. Anyone with information related to this case is urged to contact Sergeant Matias Castillo at the Dalton Police Department.
