9/8/14 - A Green Oak Township man facing charges of indecent exposure in Livingston and Oakland Counties has rejected a local plea deal. 30-year-old Nathanael Armstrong is facing indecent exposure charges in two separate court cases in Livingston County. He rejected a plea offer in both cases during a pretrial hearing today, and is now scheduled for jury selection on October 10th. In Oakland County, Armstrong is charged with three counts of aggravated indecent exposure for incidents in South Lyon and one count of indecent exposure alleged to have occurred in Novi. After the three South Lyon incidents, which occurred between April 15th and June 25th, South Lyon Police Lt. Chris Sovik noticed a press release from Novi Police about a July 14th incident at a Target store that included a surveillance photo of a suspect. He noticed the suspect looked similar to Armstrong, who he had interviewed previously. Further investigation by both departments led to a positive identification. Armstrong also faces two counts of indecent exposure in Livingston County related to alleged incidents in July at the Green Oak Village Place mall. Those incidents went unreported to police until Armstrong was publicly identified in the South Lyon cases. Each count of aggravated indecent exposure is a two-year misdemeanor, while the simple indecent exposure charge carries a maximum penalty of 1 year in prison. (TD)
