Florence police seek indecent exposure suspect

Police are looking for a man they say exposed himself to a woman in the parking lot of Hobby Lobby, Florence Police Maj. Carlos Raines said.

The incident happened at 3:20 p.m. Monday when a woman shopping noticed a man following her around the store. The victim told police the man kept staring at her while adjusting the front of his pants, Raines said.

The woman felt uncomfortable and decided to leave the store, but spotted the suspect as she was walking to her car. The suspect then unzipped his pants, Raines said.

Police have identified the suspect and intend to sign warrants on him today, Raines said.

Anyone with information on the suspect’s whereabouts is asked to call the police department at (843) 676-8800 or the state Crime Stoppers hotline at (888) CRIME SC (274-6372). Callers need not reveal their identities.
