Indecent Exposure Suspect Already Had Court Date For Drug Charges: Police

ARLINGTON, VA — A 34-year-old man who was arrested for indecent exposure Tuesday night in Green Valley already had an upcoming court appearance scheduled for next week on unrelated drug charges, according to authorities.

Officers from the Arlington County Police Department responded around 10:53 p.m. for a disorderly conduct report in the 3200 block of 24th Street South. A witness told police that they were inside a parking garage when they noticed a man exposing himself, according to the incident report.

The officers located a man matching the description of the suspect, whom they identified as Andrew Rose of an undetermined address, police say. Rose was arrested and charged with indecent exposure and public intoxication. He was then held without bond.

Rose was arraigned Wednesday morning in Arlington General District Court and had a bond hearing scheduled for 9 a.m. on Thursday, according to court records. He has a preliminary hearing scheduled for 10:30 a.m. on Dec. 18.

Rose already has a hearing scheduled for Monday in Arlington General District Court in connection to an April 12 arrest, according to court records. He faces four charges:

• Drugs: possession of a Schedule I/II substance (Class 5 felony)
• Unauthorized possession of drug paraphernalia (Class 1 misdemeanor)
• Obstruction/resisting arrest without force (Class 1 misdemeanor)
• Petit larceny (Class 1 misdemeanor)

This case was adjudicated on July 22 and is currently under review, according to court records.
