MANATEE COUNTY - Authorities say a Bradenton man was pretending to be a doctor when he stopped a woman in the hospital parking lot and rubbed her stomach and thighs on March 10.
Howard L. Lawrence, 30, of the 600 block of 11th Avenue East, was arrested around 9 a.m. Tuesday for trespassing on Manatee Memorial Hospital grounds soon after the incident.
The woman -- who was going to the emergency room for leg pain -- reported the incident to Bradenton police officers two days later and picked Lawrence out of a photo lineup.
Lawrence is charged with the unlicensed practice of a health care professional and battery. He is in Manatee County Jail on $2,370 bond.
