Man Arrested for Exposing Himself to Young Girl at Puyallup Kmart

One man was arrested for exposing himself to an underage victim at Kmart on River Road. Police are looking for another man involved in a separate incident at Wildwood Park.

Officers responded to three indecent exposure calls on Wednesday, leading to the arrest of one man for exposing his genitalia to an underage victim in Kmart, according to Puyallup Police.

According to the police report, a female jogger reported seeing a man enter the Riverwalk Trail near Kmart with his pants down. She told police he was completely exposed and she immediately ran to her car to call 9-1-1.

Soon after, an underage victim told police that while she was shopping with her mom in Kmart, a man pulled down his pants and exposed himself to her in the middle of a shopping aisle. Her mother did not see the incident occur.

The suspect description matched the two incidents and police were able to arrest the suspect, a man in his mid-twenties.

In the same day, Puyallup Police responded to another, separate indecent exposure incident at Wildwood Park. The victim reported that she was running off a trail near Shelter #9 when she saw a man walking down the road with his pants pulled down, completely exposed.

An arrest hasn't been made in this case--the suspect is described as a white male, possibly Hispanic, in his twenties to thirties, 5’7” to 5’10” tall with a medium to heavy build, wearing a dark shirt and jeans.

The victim ran back toward her car and shortly thereafter, saw the same subject driving out of the park at a high rate of speed in a red or burgundy Toyota Corolla.

If you have any information about this case, please call Puyallup Police at 253-841-5415.
