Joliet Flasher Arrested At Walmart Store: JPD

JOLIET, IL — A 19-year-old Bolingbrook man was hauled away in handcuffs from the Joliet Walmart store at 2424 West Jefferson St. last week on charges of public indecency.

Around 1:40 p.m. last Thursday, Joliet police were sent to the Walmart after learning that a customer, later identified as Michael Anderson, was inside the store exposing himself to other shoppers, Joliet police reports show.

"Officers learned that Anderson was observed by store security exposing himself while in the women’s clothing portion of the store," Joliet police spokesman Dwayne English said.

English said that Anderson confirmed to the Joliet police officers who questioned him that he had exposed himself while inside the store.

He was placed into custody without incident and Anderson was later released from custody on an I-bond, police reports reflect.
