A man was arrested on two counts of stalking joggers in Grayslake, each a Class 4 felony.

Angulo J. Natividad, 44, of 1513 Juneway Terrace, Round Lake Beach, was arrested on a two-count stalking warrant at 8:15 p.m. Aug. 25, according to Matt McCutcheon, Grayslake interim police chief.

"The arrest is a result of complaints from female joggers who reported being followed by the same individual on more than one occasion at a slow rate of speed, placing the victims in fear for their safety," McCutcheon said.

The investigation found that Natividad typically would follow joggers in his car as they ran in the older neighborhoods near , north and west of Central Park, and in the Manor neighborhood. When he followed one female jogger all the way to her home, she reported that to police.

Natividad was positively identified by each victim, according to police. He was taken Thursday night to the Lake County Courthouse for a bond hearing.

Natividad was arrested while parked at 100 Library Lane. said he performed a lewd act in public.

"He was in the library parking lot in his car and appeared to be watching swimmers as they climbed up the slide at the pool," McCutcheon said.

"We had him under surveillance because of other complaints we had received on him," he said. "Officers approached his car and found him to be performing a lewd act in public."

McCutcheon said the police department had received six previous complaints against Natividad from different joggers and from people at the Spray Park who complained of Natividad's behavior.

He doesn't have any known previous criminal record, police said.
