North Caldwell Man Exposed Himself To People At Mall: Police

CALDWELLS, NJ — A North Caldwell man has been accused of exposing himself at the Willowbrook Mall last weekend, authorities said.

Police officers from Wayne and the Passaic County Sheriff’s Office responded to the mall at 2:47 p.m. on Saturday after receiving complaints about a man allegedly exposing himself to customers as he walked through the building, authorities said.

According to Wayne police, as the officers were speaking with one of the witnesses, a woman in the parking lot began screaming that a man just exposed himself to her while her 12-year-old nephew was present.

Officers arrested the suspect, James Michura, 24, of North Caldwell, and charged him with two counts of lewdness (disorderly persons offense) and another count of lewdness (fourth degree).

Michura was released on a summons pending a court hearing, authorities said.
