Indecent Exposure Charge Filed Following Crystal City Arrest

ARLINGTON, VA — Arlington County Police arrested a man Thursday night who they say was exposing himself and masturbating as he walked along a Crystal City street, according to the daily crime report.

Officers responded around 6:20 p.m. on Thursday for an indecent exposure report in the 1900 block of South Eads Street. When they arrived, the officers saw a man walking, exposing his genitals, and masturbating. They took the man into custody without incident.

Police charged John Hickerson, 65, of no fixed address, with indecent exposure and public masturbation. During their investigation, police say Hickerson provided a false identity, so they also charged him with identity theft.
