The man continued to follow them even after they made unexpected turns, and appeared to be circling them as they waited for officers at a gas station, Chief Dean Ackermann said.
Officers were able to locate the subject, a 35-year-old Hawthorne man, who said that he was merely out riding his bicycle and his presence at the same locations as the couple was nothing more than a coincidence.
