Deputies arrested a Gainesville man over the weekend for allegedly exposing himself to a store clerk in north Hall County.
Hall County Sheriff’s deputies took Alexander Manuel Murphy, 20, into custody Sunday afternoon, March 14, at his residence off U.S. 129/Cleveland Highway. Officials say he lived near the store where the alleged crime occurred. Deputies charged Murphy with one count of public indecency.
According to the preliminary investigation, on the evening of March 12, Murphy exposed and touched his genitals in front of a juvenile female employee while inside a store in the 3200 block of Cleveland Highway.
Uniform Patrol Division deputies responded to the initial call reporting the incident on Saturday afternoon. They were able to identify Murphy as the suspect and obtain an arrest warrant.
Murphy posted a $1,300 bond and was released from the Hall County Jail roughly four hours after his arrest.
The sheriff’s office is still investigating the incident.
