A Clarkston resident reported to police that a man exposed himself to her 9-year-old daughter as they stood in line at a supermarket checkout on June 8.
The woman notified police after paying her bill and exiting the store quickly following the alleged exposure at around 9 p.m. at a store on Dixie Highway in Independence Township.
According to police reports at the Oakland County Sheriff’s Office Independence substation, after the woman entered the checkout line, her two sons went to the front of the line and were playing. The suspect entered the line behind the family with a bag of grapes, which he set on the counter.
When the woman left the line and walked over to discipline her sons, the daughter remained behind. As the woman returned to the line she noticed that the man’s shorts were undone and his shirt pulled up as he allegedly exposed himself. Reports state the girl was looking at the cashier when the alleged incident occurred.
The mother stated in police reports that the man spoke to her as she grabbed her daughter and paid the bill.
The suspect is described as a 40-year-old white male who was balding with gray hair, no facial hair or glasses and wearing a white jersey with the blue number 32 trimmed with yellow. He was observed being picked up by a late model burgundy 1980’s GM Sedan by another white male outside the store.
