A Hartford man is in trouble with the law following an early December incident aboard a public transit bus.
West Hartford police report that 43-year-old Robert Jamell-Roundtree was charged with public indecency and second-degree breach of peace for allegedly masturbating in front of passengers on a CT Transit bus on Dec. 2.
Police say a woman reported that Roundtree exposed himself and began masturbating during a ride through West Hartford, causing her to switch seats. He allegedly followed her to the front of the bus and continued masturbating, police said.
A subsequent report by the Hartford Courant indicated that Roundtree continued to follow the woman off the bus to the Westfarms mall, where he allegedly continued to expose himself.
Following an investigation into the incident, Roundtree was arrested and charged.
Roundtree was released on $5,000 bond and is scheduled to appear in court on Dec. 23.
