Man accused of exposing himself at Douglass High School charged with misdemeanor
COLUMBIA, Mo. (KMIZ)
A man has been charged with a misdemeanor after he allegedly exposed himself while he was in front of Douglass High School on Thursday.
Mark Dennis Jones, 64, was charged with first-degree sexual misconduct. He is being held at the Boone County Jail without bond. A hearing was held on Monday afternoon.
According to court documents, a member of the high school’s administration told police that Jones exposed himself in front of a student and their mother while he was urinating in front of them. Court documents say video footage showed the victims in a vehicle in the school’s parking lot about two minutes before Jones began urinating in front of the vehicle.
The administrator allegedly told police they recognized Jones because he “frequents the grounds of the school and observes Jones on school property ‘at least once a day,’” court documents say.
The student – who is a youth – allegedly told police they saw Jones urinate on school property and then continue to walk south while urinating, the statement says. The mother gave the same details to police.
Police allegedly asked Jones why didn’t ask the school to use a restroom and he replied that he did ask, the statement says. Police then asked why he didn’t use the bathroom at Douglass Park and Jones replied that he did not know, the statement says.
