Dayton man who exposes genitals, touches Centerville Kroger customer gets jailtime

NOW PLAYING ABOVE

CENTERVILLE — The Dayton man who exposed himself inside the Cornerstone of Centerville Kroger and touched a woman with his genitals in late August will spend a week in jail.

FIRST REPORT: Man exposes genitals, touches female customer at Centerville Kroger

Mitchell A. Cowan III, 22, was convicted of public indecency and a disorderly conduct charge was dismissed Wednesday.

He was accused of exposing himself to a 69-year-old customer at the Cornerstone Kroger and rubbing his genitals on her arm, according to court records and police. Cowan fled the store, but was found later after an arrest warrant was issued and a co-worker reported he was at work in Moraine.

Cowan also will have to pay a $250 fine and will have to get treatment, court records showed.

Additionally, Cowan was ordered to stay out of the Kroger store in the future and that he cannot have contact with the victim in the case.

Cowan also has another pending public indecency case for a similar incident in Sugarcreek Twp.

In that case, he allegedly performed a sex act on himself in a shopping center on Wilmington Pike near Clyo Road. This incident happened the same day as the Centerville incident.

“Video surveillance of the suspect and his vehicle was located and found to match the suspect and vehicle in an indecent exposure arrest that occurred approximately 45 minutes later ... several miles down the road in Sugarcreek Twp.,” a statement of facts read.
