Homeless Man Arrested on Indecent Exposure Charge

Staff report

GAINESVILLE, Fla. – George Thomas White, 47, was arrested yesterday after he was accused of exposing himself behind a business in Gainesville’s Midtown area.

At approximately 12:56 p.m. on September 27, a Gainesville Police Department officer was dispatched to the 800 block of SW 2nd Avenue. An employee told police she discovered a man lying near the business’s dumpster while taking out the trash and saw that his genitals were exposed. She reported that he was actively and openly masturbating.

According to the officer’s report, White was the only person in the area. Several clothing items and a sleeping bag were reportedly nearby.

After being read his Miranda rights, White reportedly told officers that he had been at the location all day. He also acknowledged masturbating and watching pornography.

White’s listed address is the former St. Francis House. He was charged with indecent exposure of sexual organs. His complete criminal history was unavailable because records involving sexual offenses are not posted, though he has no other local arrests. Judge George Wright set bail at $5,000.

Articles about arrests are based on reports from law enforcement agencies. The charges listed are taken from the arrest report and/or court records and are only accusations. All suspects are innocent until proven guilty in a court of law.
