Pine Grove Man Facing Charges After He Allegedly Exposed Himself at a Local Business

A Pine Grove man is facing charges after he exposed himself at a local business.

According to Pine Grove Police, the incident recently occurred at a local business in the 100 Block of North Tulpehocken Street.

A business owner reported that Jamie Koch, 56, of Pine Grove, entered the business and awaited service.

While waiting for service, Koch allegedly began to watch a pornographic video on his cell phone with the volume turned all the way up.  While watching the video, Koch began to make vulgar sexual statements toward the owner.

Police say Koch then went to the bathroom and left the door open.  While in the bathroom, Koch turned and exposed his genital area to the owner.  

The owner then physically escorted Koch out of the business.

Pine Grove Police have filed misdemeanor harassment charged through Magisterial District Judge Rossi's Office in Tremont.
