Lexington police say they have identified a man wanted for touching a pizza delivery driver inappropriately.

Dajohn Sowell, 24, is wanted on a warrant for third-degree sexual abuse, police said Tuesday.

On Saturday, police had released a photo of the man, asking for the public’s help identifying him. Police said Tuesday that Sowell was identified through tips from the community that were submitted through LexIDme.com.

Police said the delivery driver told them earlier this month that a man grabbed his buttocks while he was making a delivery. The man then followed the driver back to the pizza store and grabbed him a second time, police said. Employees snapped a photo of the man.
