A Gainesville man was arrested Sunday following a Friday incident in which he allegedly exposed himself to a store clerk in North Hall County.
According to Derreck Booth, Public Information Officer with the Hall County Sheriff's Office, Alexander Manuel Murphy, 20, is accused of exposing and touching his genitals in front of a juvenile female employee while inside a store in the 3,200 block of Cleveland Highway.
Uniform Patrol Division deputies responded to an initial call on Saturday afternoon reporting the incident and were then able to identify Murphy as the suspect and obtain an arrest warrant.
Deputies arrested Murphy at about 1:30 p.m. Sunday at his home off of U.S.129/Cleveland Highway near where the crime occurred. Murphy was charged with one count of public indecency, according to Booth.
Murphy posted $1,300 bond and was released from the Hall County Jail about four hours after his arrest.
The case remains under investigation by the Hall County Sheriff's Office.
