Man exposes himself to students at bus stop in Oxford

by Becky Harvey

OXFORD - Parents of Oxford students received a shocking call from Superintendent of Schools Allen Himmelberger on Monday, January 29.  He opened the call stating that he “regrets to inform that a white male in his thirties with spiked red hair and driving a small black SUV with tan interior drove up to the bus stop” and exposed himself to students of Clara Barton Elementary School who were waiting to be picked up for school. 

According to Detective Rick Bryn of the Oxford Police Department, the suspect passed the bus stop and then turned down Matthew Circle from Holly Street.  He then made a three point turn about half way down the street and then made his way back to the bus stop.  While stopped for the stop sign, he exposed himself to the children.  There were four students present and no parents at the stop.  Three of the children claim to have seen the act, while one says she didn’t see anything. 

Bryn stated that all of the locally registered sex offenders have been interviewed and all have alibis for the time during which the crime allegedly happened.  Officers continue to work on the case though there really aren’t any leads.  Bryn stated that anyone seeing an unfamiliar, dark-colored SUV in their neighborhood should take down the license plate number and contact the Oxford Police, just to be on the safe side.  Tips can either be called in to (508) 987-0156 x:122 or by emailing the detective directly at:  This e-mail address is being protected from spambots.
