Century Man Arrested For Skipping Court On Indecent Exposure Charges
October 8, 2009
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 — is back in the Escambia County Jail after being located in Century Wednesday.
Ronald 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. He was arrested by Escambia County deputies early Wednesday afternoon, two days after a story about his warrant and photo appeared on NorthEscambia.com. He is being held in the Escambia County Jail without bond.
Newton was first 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.
