Second Woman Alleges Man Sprayed Her With Bodily Fluids

Md. man accused of spraying semen on shoppers

A second woman has come forward to say she's been the victim of a man accused of spraying bodily fluids on shoppers.

The second reported incident happened in November at a Michael's Craft Store in Gaithersburg, Md. The victim was walking through the store when she noticed the suspect following here. At one point, she felt something hit her back. It was determined to be human semen, police said.

Michael Wayne Edwards Jr., 28, of Gaithersburg, is charged with second-degree assault. He was arrested Monday and released Tuesday after posting a $25,000 bond.

Police said Edwards has squirted semen from a bottle on at least two women in Gaithersburg and took cell phone pictures of them afterward.

The first reported incident was at a Gaithersburg Giant Supermarket July 15. Edwards was developed as a suspect and arrested and charged with second-degree assault in that case last week. He was released on a $4,000 bond.

Police began looking for other victims after interviewing Edwards last week. They said they believe there may be at least two more victims.

Anyone else who thinks they may be victims should call police at 240-773-6237.
