Walmart Indecency

MARCH 2--A Walmart patron who was spotted masturbating in various sections of a South Carolina store explained to a cop that he “had a problem with sticking his hands in his pants,” according to a police report.

Officers were called to the business Saturday after customers and Walmart employees allegedly observed Jeremy Percival Bryant, 23, repeatedly exposing himself inside the Myrtle Beach retailer.

A Walmart worker told cops that a female customer reported that Bryant (seen at right) was acting “weird” in the men’s department. When the employee went to investigate, she noticed that Bryant “had his penis out of his pants and was rubbing it.” The worker added that Bryant would cover himself when someone moved toward him in the aisle, but would resume “the activity when he thought no one was watching him.”

Two other Walmart workers told police that they also witnessed Bryant pleasuring himself. One worker said that she “peaked through a jeans shelf and noticed him pull out his penis and begin to stroke it.”

When Bryant was approached inside the store by a Myrtle Beach Police Department officer, he placed his jacket “over the front of his pants” and sought to walk away. Bryant, who was subsequently arrested, told the patrolman that he “had a problem with sticking his hands in his pants.”

Charged with indecent exposure, Bryant was booked into jail, where bond has yet to be set. (2 pages)
