HAMILTON, Ohio — A Hamilton man has been charged with burglary and two counts of public indecency after police said he exposed himself multiple times early Saturday morning.
Officers responded to three separate reports of indecent exposure on the west side of Hamilton between noon and 3 a.m. on Feb. 14, according to a press release by the Hamilton Police Department.
In each incident, police said 26-year-old Jalen Peck exposed himself and "engaged in lewd conduct" in front of residents. In one specific incident, police said he entered a home through an unlocked window before being confronted by the resident. He then fled the scene before police arrived.
Police said they were able to use physical evidence and a community member's tip to identify Peck as the suspect.
According to the department, police have had multiple interactions with Peck since he arrived in Hamilton in late 2024, including prior arrests for criminal trespassing, obstructing official business and possession of drug paraphernalia.
After an officer spotted Peck while working Monday night, police were able to take him into custody on unrelated outstanding warrants. Since then, formal charges have been filed.
