Exposure, times two
Two pieces of news related to downtown flashing incidents
Last week, police arrested Joshua Allen, 20, for allegedly approaching an 11-year-old girl with his pants around his ankles, grabbing her around the waist and kissing her on the cheek at a downtown business, according to a Chico Police Department press release. Allen (pictured) was on probation out of Shasta County for a burglary conviction.
But that’s not the only news related to a man exposing himself. Despite being sentenced on May 1 to 300 days in jail on that charge, longtime local homeless man Jason Lisle, 45, was released on June 6 for time served.
Lisle was ordered to stay 500 yards away from Third and Broadway streets (see “Barred from downtown,” Downstroke, May 3). He remains on formal probation with his various conditions still in force, such as the requirement to complete sex-offender-specific therapy, according to District Attorney Mike Ramsey.
