Man Follows Woman, Exposes Himself Inside Rochester Hills Shopping Store: Sheriff

ROCHESTER HILLS, MI — A Detroit man is in trouble after exposing himself to a woman inside a Rochester Hills shopping store last Thursday, according to the Oakland County Sheriff's Office.

Officials said the 32-year-old man exposed himself in the women’s apparel department inside a Rochester Hills Walmart. He was also seen fondling himself, officials said.

Investigators believe the man had been following a specific woman around the store.

Officers arrested him without incident inside the store.

He was charged with aggravated indecent exposure, a high misdemeanor, which carries a maximum 2-year jail term and/or a $2,000 fine.

He was placed in jail with a $30,000 bond. His next court date is scheduled for March 31.

"It is sad and sick that women can’t go to a local store without finding themselves being subjected to this disgusting behavior," Oakland County Sheriff Michael Bouchard said. "If you are also a victim of this individual, we encourage you to contact us. We look forward to him being held accountable."

Officials believe there may have been other victims in the area. Anyone with information should call the Sheriff’s Office at 248-858-4950.
