Prosecutors said the victim took the car keys, got out of the car and called 911. Adkins slid over to the driver's side of the car and when he realized the keys were gone he got out of the car and walked away.

Prosecutors said about 20 minutes later Adkins second victim was walking his dog and saw Adkins approaching with his genitals exposed and carrying a metal object.
