COLUMBIA, Mo. (KMIZ)

A man has been charged with a misdemeanor after he allegedly danced while he was naked in an Aldi vestibule on Saturday.

Sidney Jones, 41, of Columbia, was charged with first-degree sexual misconduct. He is being held at the Boone County Jail without bond. An initial court appearance was held on Monday.

The probable cause statement says Columbia police were called to an Aldi location in Columbia for a report of a naked man dancing in the vestibule. Court documents redacted the location of the Aldi. There are three locations in Columbia.

Multiple witnesses allegedly were able to describe seeing Jones naked at the Aldi and claimed there were multiple children in the store at the time.

Jones allegedly then danced naked outside of the store before going back to the vestibule to get his clothes, the statement says. Video allegedly shows Jones pulling up to the store in a vehicle before disrobing, the statement says.

Court documents say Jones is now banned from all Aldi locations.
