Indy serial flasher arrested for the 49th time, charged again with public indecency

INDIANAPOLIS — A serial flasher, who has been arrested nearly 50 times since 2019 and was just released from jail earlier this week, has been arrested yet again for public indecency.

Cameron Greenwood, 27, of Gary, was arrested Thursday morning for public indecency with a prior conviction – a level 6 felony. Online court records show Greenwood was just released Tuesday from Marion County Jail after being held on criminal trespassing charges.

A police report shows Indianapolis Metro police were called around 9:45 a.m. to the 5100 block of E. 16th Street on report of indecent exposure. Upon arrival, officers identified Greenwood as the suspect who was exposing himself to a woman and arrested him.

Online records show Greenwood has been arrested at least 47 times since 2019 for crimes ranging from criminal trespassing to battery.

In that same time, he was arrested at least nine times for nudity, exposing himself or public indecency.

“He’s got quite the history,” IMPD Lt. Shane Foley said after an arrest in 2024. “Our officers are responding to runs and doing what they can to make arrests.”

In most of these cases, Greenwood has reached a plea agreement or had his charges dropped.

Greenwood’s most recent public nudity charge prior to Thursday occurred on May 23, 2024. Jamesha Bell, an Indy mother of six, spoke with FOX59/CBS4 about the incident.

“We were outside hanging out, just enjoying the beautiful day,” Bell said at the time. “Didn’t think we’d see a penis.”

Bell said it all happened when she and her kids were outside their house near New York and Dequincy Street, when a man pulled down his pants and began touching his genitals while looking in their direction. That man was later identified as Greenwood.

“I was just ready to go crazy,” she said. “I chased him from right there to Washington and Dequincy on foot. I don’t know why I didn’t get in my car. It was just out of instinct to just get him.”

Eventually, police officers caught up with Greenwood and arrested him. Charging documents filed in court claimed Greenwood had exposed himself at least four other times that same day.

Just two days before his arrest on Thursday, Greenwood pled guilty to felony criminal trespassing in Marion County for a case filed in February. Despite having several previous convictions, Greenwood served no time in prison and was released without court supervision.

FOX59/CBS4 has reached out to IMPD and the Marion County Prosecutor’s Office for more information on Greenwood’s most recent arrest. We did not hear back before publishing this article, which will be updated once more details are released.
