Police said at least some of the notes referenced Instagram accounts, which were then traced back to Therlonge.

Aventura Police watched as Therlonge followed four separate women from their cars into the Whole Foods and nearby Target.

"Officers continued to conduct surveillance and watched the subject follow women from their vehicles, and into Target or Whole Foods," arrest documents stated. "This activity was observed a total of four times where the subject would walk behind the women and speak to them in a harassing manner."

Police said that none of the mothers or pregnant women were receptive to the man's advances.

Once his victims were inside the store, Therlonge returned to their vehicles and left notes for them to find on their windshields or door handles.

"The subject would then return to the front of Whole Foods and watch the parking lot and write additional notes," according to police documents.

Police confronted Therlonge after he finished placing the fourth note on one of the vehicles, which belonged to a mother who was shopping at Target with her toddler.

"Therlonge stated that he was not conducting any type of business in the area/parking lot and was 'only trying to put out positive energy into the universe,'" arrest documents explained.

Therlonge was laughing as he was questioned by police, according to arrest documents. He pleaded guilty to misdemeanor loitering or prowling and was sentenced to time already served and ordered to pay a fine.

"Therlonge had a bag in his possession with several descriptions of women in the same exact handwriting as the notes he was observed leaving on the four vehicles," Aventura police noted.

Arrest documents said that that Therlonge admitted to leaving "hundreds" of similar notes from Miami Beach to Fort Lauderdale and has had numerous contacts with police over his behavior.

Aventura police said that similar incidents occurred at other locations throughout Miami-Dade County, including nearby Aventura Mall and Florida International University.
