CENTRE COUNTY, Pa (WJAC) — Authorities in Centre County say a Bellefonte man is facing charges after he was accused of exposing himself to others inside a bathroom at the Nittany Mall in State College.
Police say on Feb. 17, officers were dispatched to the mall for reports that a male was exposing himself inside the public restroom.
According to the affidavit, one witness reportedly told police that he had entered one of the bathroom stalls, and closed it, at which time the suspect reportedly stuck his genitalia through the "crack of the stall door."
Police say the suspect, later identified as 61-year-old Thomas Chilcoat, allegedly apologized to the witness.
Authorities say Chilcoat was also accused of sticking his hand under the stall door and "moaning."
Police say the witness told officers that he believed that Chilcoat was "pleasuring himself" inside the bathroom stall.
Investigators say Chilcoat also allegedly entered and exited the bathroom, multiple times, without wearing pants.
According to the complaint, when officers questioned Chilcoat, they reportedly found a glass pipe inside his coat pocket and he admitted to being in possession of crystal meth.
Online court records show that Chilcoat was arraigned last week on various charges, including indecent exposure and open lewdness.
He was released on unsecured bail.
