Neighbors in the Carver Street area of Lafayette tell police that a 25-year-old man has been sexually harassing women in the area.

Clifford Snyder Junior was picked up Saturday night and charged with misdemeanor counts of criminal trespass and sexual battery.

When police responded Saturday night, they found a group of people arguing in front of the apartments on Carver Street. A 17-year-old female said Snyder had entered her apartment uninvited, touched her on the buttocks and refused to leave. Police say they have several witnesses to back up her account.
