Man in mime costume faces charges, allegedly harassed female DCR employees at Cochituate State Park

Massachusetts State Police say 29-year-old Hernan Asael Villagran Lux was arrested after three female DCR workers filed harassment reports.

  • On Sunday, Massachusetts State Police arrested 29-year-old Hernan Asael Villagran Lux on the Cochituate Rail Trail in Framingham, charging him with three counts of criminal harassment.
  • The charges stem from complaints by three Massachusetts Department of Conservation and Recreation employees who reported a pattern of intimidating encounters with Lux over the past two months.
  • Employees reported that Lux stared at them in a 'really unnerving and frankly terrifying manner' and allegedly stripped to his underwear to exercise while covered in cooking oil near their workspace.
  • During his Monday arraignment at Framingham District Court, Lux collapsed and was subsequently ordered to Bridgewater State Hospital for a mental health evaluation to determine trial competency.
  • Community members in Natick and Wayland have reported similar unsettling encounters with the man, with his next court hearing scheduled for August 6.
