Vladimir Mishkov, a level-three sex offender on the run in King County with a history of exposing himself to women, is currently wanted for failure to register as a sex offender.

The 29-year-old was convicted for indecent exposure in 2008 and 2012.

According to the Washington’s Most Wanted website, Mishkov was spotted in 2008 masturbating in his brown jeep outside Linens-n-Things in Redmond. The website states that the woman called police because he had been following her in the store, then whistled to her from his vehicle when she exited.

“Officers contacted the witness and noted immediately that she was disturbed with what happened,” the website states. “She was visibly shaking and was crying.”

The second time Mishkov was convicted was following an incident in 2011 when officers were called to the parking lot of the Sweet Cheeks Coffee in SeaTac after two victims saw him masturbating. The Washington’s Most Wanted website states that he was caught with his fly open and when asked why he was doing it, Mishkov told officers he was “thinking of ways to kill himself.”

Mishkov’s criminal history includes burglary, misdemeanor possession of burglary tools, misdemeanor indecent exposure, misdemeanor harassment domestic violence and misdemeanor hit and run attended.

Mishkov is 5 feet, 11 inches and 165 pounds. Anyone who has any information of where officers can find him, call 1 (800) 222-8477. Crime Stoppers is offering a cash reward of up to $1,000 for information leading to his arrest.
