Arrest Warrant Issued For Century Man After He No-Shows In Court On Indecent Exposure Charges

October 5, 2009

An arrest warrant has been issued for a Century man who failed to show up in court on charges that he showed private body parts to three people — including two underage juveniles.

newtonronaldberlan.jpgRonald Berlan Newton, 48, of Blackmon Street, Century, was due to appear before Circuit Court Judge Jan Shackelford on one charge of indecent exposure and two counts of lewd and lascivious behavior by a person over 18 on a victim under 16 years old. He was released on $21,000 bond.

When he failed to appear, the judge issued a warrant for his arrest.

Newton was arrested September 2 after allegedly exposing himself to an adult female and two female juveniles. Newton, according to the arrest report, approached the woman and asked for change for a $20 bill. As the woman went to get the change, according to the report, Newton, who was dressed in a white robe, exposed himself. When questioned by deputies, Newton denied the accusations against him.

Anyone with information about Newton  is asked to call the Escambia County Sheriff’s Office at 436-9620.

    I understand what youre saying wild bill but this was not a stranger to her. This is a well known man in the century community. So if he had approached me in a robe and asked me for change I would’ve been tripping about him coming outside that way, but still would’ve given him the change..

    I see what you’re saying Wild Bill —but still, that’s totally beside the point. Not wanting to start a huge debate (because I know I’m right), but just sayin…

    Most people who were approached on the street by a stranger dressed in a robe asking for change would probably just say they didn’t have the change and move quickly away from the stranger. Wonder why this person was compelled to offer change, especially since two younger kids were present? Just doesn’t make sense to me.

    First he shows, then he doesn’t show. Dude needs to make up his mind….
