GAINESVILLE, Fla. – A man accused of "purposely pressing his groin" against a woman at a Walmart in Gainesville was arrested after a chase, police said.
Lavell L. Strong, 21, was recognized by Walmart staff for doing the same thing last year. Strong was accused of grabbing another woman's buttocks while inside the same store, according to police.

When police approached Strong outside the front of the store, he ran away. About an hour later, police said they found him in the woods about three blocks away.
Because he has a prior battery conviction, he was charged with felony battery in addition to trespassing and resisting arrest without violence, police said.
