Austin Craighead, 26, was arrested after a police pursuit Wednesday morning and was booked into the city jail for indecent exposure and escaping or attempting to escape from arrest. He was released Thursday morning after posting a $3,000 bond, jail records indicate.
At about 8 a.m. Wednesday police were dispatched to Quick Stop No. 2 at 423 N. Wheeler in reference to a male subject exposing himself to a female in a parking lot.
Police later took a statement from the victim, who said that she went into the store and saw a male that she knew as Craighead. The victim said she left the store and was walking to her vehicle when she saw Craighead, who had left the store a few minutes before her, standing in front of her car. She told police that she got in her car and began to leave when she looked up and saw Craighead, who was wearing pajama pants, exposing his penis.
Craighead was later spotted by police on Quesenbury Avenue, but when he was told to stop, he fled the scene. After a short police pursuit Craighead was taken into custody at the corner of Cedar and Wyandotte. He was booked into the city jail.
