Man accused of exposing himself to teenaged girl, possessing several types of drugs in Plymouth County

A man is facing disturbing charges after a reported incident that took place over the weekend.

According to Chief Timothy Kane, on Sunday, at just after 10:00 a.m., the Hanover Police responded to a report of a suspicious male party reportedly following a female at 1775 Washington Street, Hanover Crossing.

The 17-year-old victim stated she was seated in her vehicle at which time a white pickup truck pulled up next to her. The victim further advised she observed a male in the truck clearly staring at her before he eventually exited his truck and exposed himself to her. The male then got back into his truck and began to drive in circles around the victim’s vehicle. Soon after, he pulled up next to the victim’s vehicle a second time while honking his horn in an attempt to get the victim’s attention. When he was unsuccessful the male then drove away from the victim and parked in front of a neighboring business.
