Mathis
Fairfax County police have charged a Maryland man with exposing himself at two local malls. He is Jamall Mathis, 29, and the incidents occurred at both the Fair Oaks and Springfield malls. Shopping Center Unit detectives, with the assistance of the police Fugitive Tracking and Apprehension Squad, made the arrest.
According to police, on Jan. 11 at 5 p.m., officers responded to the Spencer’s store inside Fair Oaks Mall for a report of a man exposing himself inside the store. Police say a detective assigned to that mall then began “a thorough investigation and identified Mathis as the suspect.”
Afterward, officers assigned to the Springfield Mall allegedly tied him to a similar crime that had occurred there. Police say they were able to identify Mathis as “the suspect involved in an indecent-exposure incident that occurred Oct. 12, 2023, at Five Below” inside that mall.
Then, on March 15, officers assigned to the Fugitive Tracking and Apprehension Unit located Mathis in the Franconia district and arrested him. Mathis was charged with two counts of indecent exposure and later released on bond.
Due to the repeated nature of these offenses, officers are seeking additional victims. And if anyone recognizes Mathis or has information about these incidents, they’re urged to call the Major Crimes Bureau at 703-246-7800, option 3.
