Customer points out man wanted for flashing girl at Tampa bookstore

TAMPA — A Jacksonville man was accused of exposing himself to a girl in a Tampa bookstore Saturday.

Tampa police said Timmothy Isaiah Hall, 41, flashed a 7-year-old girl while she was reading in the children's section of Barnes & Noble at 213 N Dale Mabry Highway. He then left the store.

A customer, Bryan Alder, later observed Hall in the children's section at a Border's bookstore nearby, he told Bay News 9. Alder said he called 911 to notify police at Barnes & Noble "that I had found the gentlemen that they were looking for."

Hall tried to leave when officers arrived and was stopped with a stun gun, police said. He was charged with lewd and lascivious exhibition, a felony, and obstructing an officer without violence. He was being held in the Hillsborough County Jail without bail.
