Merchantville Man Arrested: Illegally Entered Home, Exposed Himself

On 10/22/18 at approximately 7:51 pm, the Riverside Police were dispatched to the area of Jefferson St near Pavilion Avenue, for the report of a male subject who exposed himself to a Riverside resident.  Upon arrival, the victim stated to police that she was in her residence when a male subject, unknown to her, walked into her house through the front door without first knocking or asking to enter.  She told police that she was able to get the subject to leave her house, but once outside he pulled his pants down and exposed himself to her.  The suspect then fled the area on a bicycle. 

Riverside Police officers searched the area and located a male on a bicycle fitting the description provided by the caller.  When officers approached him, he fled on the bike, ignoring commands to stop.  After a short chase, the officers located the suspect hiding behind a business along Pavilion Avenue.
