A suspect being sought for lewd and lascivious conduct in a Mountain Home Dollar General Store on Oct. 18 has been arrested. Thirty-nine-year-old Adrian Eskew of rural Mountain Home has allegedly been linked to several other occurrences.
On Oct. 24, the Baxter County Sheriff’s Office posted still photos of a suspect taken from a Dollar General Store video surveillance system who had been inside the store following women around and committing a lewd act. According to Sheriff John Montgomery, a suspect was developed and later interviewed. The suspect reportedly confessed to this conduct, and investigators set about obtaining a warrant for his arrest. During the investigation, the suspect was linked to other occurrences and three other retailers in Mountain Home.
An arrest warrant was issued by the District Court, and the suspect, identified as Eskew, surrendered himself Tuesday. He was booked into the Baxter County Detention Center on four misdemeanor counts of public sexual indecency and four additional counts of harassment. Eskew has been released after posting a bond of $3,550.
