OHIO — A Fountain City man has been arrested for the second time in less than two weeks for allegedly exposing himself to a child at a local store, according to Richmond Police.
Wendell Woodall, 46, was taken into custody on a warrant for performing sexual conduct in the presence of a minor and indecent exposure, the department announced Wednesday.
Police said the arrest stems from an Aug. 18 incident in which Woodall allegedly exposed his genitals to a child at the Five Below store on East National Road.
Just days later, on Aug. 20, Woodall was arrested in connection with a similar incident at the Meijer on Chester Boulevard.
“Unfortunately, one arrest wasn’t the end of this disgusting story,” Police Chief Kyle Weatherly said in a statement. “When new allegations surfaced, our detectives went right back to work, gathered the evidence, and brought it forward. That’s how you protect children in this community, by following every lead and holding offenders accountable every single time.”
The case has been forwarded to the Prosecutor’s Office for review.
