A northern Minnesota man is accused of exposing himself to children and an adult in separate incidents over the course of a single day.
Logan Andrew Smitherman, of Gilbert, was charged Wednesday with three counts of fifth-degree criminal sexual conduct related to his alleged behavior two days prior. According to the criminal complaint, the 28-year-old was seen by multiple victims throughout the city of Virginia, with more reports coming in as officers were responding to the initial call.
Here is what the charges allege:
Virginia police were initially called to a home on 5th Street South, when a woman out mowing her lawn said a man – shirtless, with a swastika tattoo on his chest and wearing red shorts – approached from behind and hit her in the buttocks. She told him to leave, but he came back twice, prompting the woman to run to a neighbor and call police.
