David E. Jones, 25, of Emery, S.D., was arraigned before District Justice Bradley Lunsford at 1 p.m. yesterday for indecent exposure and open lewdness.

Jones was released on $10,000 unsecured bail and was not committed to Centre County Prison. His preliminary hearing will take place at 8:30 a.m. Sept. 24 at Centre County Courthouse in Bellefonte.

According to court documents, at about 1:30 p.m. on Sept. 7, two women said a man matching Jones' description followed them through Wal-Mart, 1665 N. Atherton St., and winked while walking past them with his penis exposed.

Wal-Mart authorities located the suspect on their video system and were able to follow his path through the store to determine he made a purchase at a front checkout counter. Because the suspect used his bank card to make the purchase, police were able to identify him.

The Patton Township Police Department contacted Jones, at which point he admitted to being at the Wal-Mart at 1:30 p.m. on Sept. 7 and to exposing himself to the women, according to the documents.
