Naugatuck Police: Man Knocks on House Door, Yells Profanities, and 'Attempts to Expose Himself'

Naugatuck police say they responded to a report of a suspicious person last week on Silver Ridge Road.

Police say the homeowner reported that a man later identified as Joseph Cullinan, 54, of New Hampshire, was knocking on their door.

The homeowner said they couldn’t understand what the man was saying, and Cullinan allegedly kept knocking on the door, and began cursing, and allegedly ‘attempted to expose himself’ to the residents, police said.

As police responded, Cullinan fled in his car, but he got stuck in traffic on Church Street and was taken into custody, police said.

Police also said they learned Cullinan was in a vehicle that was reported stolen out of Danbury.

He was charged with breach of peace, engaging in pursuit, interfering with a police officer, reckless driving and third-degree larceny.
