According to Charlotte-Mecklenburg Police, around 11:45 a.m., Monday, Jan. 15, officers received a call regarding indecent exposure in the 8400 block of Tifton Road.

CMPD officers searched for the suspect on Monday but were unable to find him. During their investigation this past week, they were able to match Mermigas to a description given by several victims in five separate cases. All reported that Mermigas exposed himself as they were walking.

Once officers got to the scene they spoke with a woman who said the man, later identified as Mermigas, exposed himself to her and she was walking along the McMullen Creek Greenway.

The woman was not harmed during the incident. She described the suspect as a man wearing dark clothing and dark shoes, riding a bike. She was also able to take some photos of him.
