Oakland County Man Arrested After Exposing Himself To 14-Year-Old Girl At Shopping Center: Police

BLOOMFIELD TOWNSHIP, MI — An Oakland County man is facing charges after police said he exposed himself to a teen girl at a shopping center last month.

The 35-year-old Pontiac man was charged with one count of aggravated indecent exposure, which is a two-year misdemeanor.

The incident happened at 11:45 a.m. on Tuesday, Feb. 17 at the Bloomfield Plaza, located at the corner of Maple and Telegraph roads in Bloomfield Township, according to police.

Police said the man was in a blue Ford F-150 and exposed himself to a 14-year-old girl.

The teen told police that the man was masturbating and his genitals were exposed, according to police.

The girl then contacted her older sister, who was inside a nearby business, according to police.

When the older sister approached the truck, the man drove off while still masturbating, according to police.

Investigators used video surveillance from businesses and a partial license plate that the teen was able to provide to identify the man's truck.

Investigators also learned he was on parole and had been convicted of first-degree criminal sexual conduct. They said the tether placed him in the area at the time of the indecent exposure incident.

He was arrested on March 24 and placed in jail with a $75,000.
