Columbia man accused of exposing himself at library

COLUMBIA, Mo. (KMIZ)

A 29-year-old Columbia man was charged with two misdemeanors on Thursday after he was accused of exposing himself at the Columbia library on April 29.

Dennis Allen Jr. is charged in Boone County with first-degree sexual misconduct and driving without insurance. He is being held at the Boone County Jail without bond.

An arraignment was held on Thursday and Allen appeared by video from the jail and pleaded not guilty.

The probable cause statement says a woman reported seeing Allen expose himself at the library on April 29. He was allegedly seen on video leaving while wearing a black hat, grey Bass Pro Shop sweatshirt and black sweat pants, the statement says. Flock cameras were used to find Allen’s vehicle and he was arrested during a traffic stop while wearing the same clothing, court documents allege.

A confined docket hearing is scheduled for 1 p.m. Thursday, May 14, while a case review is set for 1 p.m. Thursday, May 21.
