| Man accused of exposing himself in dressing rooms of women's clothing stores in Chesterfield - Richmond.com Posted: 07 Aug 2019 12:31 PM PDT Chesterfield County police charged a man with two counts of indecent exposure after receiving reports this year of a man exposing his genitals to employees in the dressing rooms of two women's clothing stores. George W. Phillips, 53, of the 12100 block of Spring Run Drive in Amelia County, was identified by police as a suspect in incidents that occurred in February and May. Police obtained two warrants for indecent exposure for Phillips on July 26, and he was served on July 29. The first incident occurred in February at Catherines, a plus-size women's clothing store in the 4800 block of Commonwealth Centre Parkway. A store employee reported that he picked out an item to try on, then asked a store employee to help him put it on. When she entered the dressing room, he exposed his genitals to her. He then left the store without making a purchase. Store employees reported that the same man returned to the store in March, and exposed his genitals in the same manner. On May 8, store employees at the Lane Bryant in the 11300 block of Midlothian Turnpike — a little over 10 miles away from the Catherines store — reported that a man entered the store, picked some items to try on, and went to the dressing rooms. Inside the dressing room, he asked for a store employee to bring him an item in a different size. The employee reported that when she returned to the dressing room, he was exposing his genitals. He purchased the items and left the store. Police believe there may be additional victims, and encourage anyone who believes they may have been a victim to contact Chesterfield police at (804) 748-1251.  |

We've collected a range of boutiques and shops that offer the materials students will need for the school year ahead. Our shopping guide is organized into six categories: school supplies, clothing, kid's clothing, books, shoes and extracurriculars. Within those categories, you'll find family-owned and independent stores to visit. Here are 25 shops you can check out for all your back-to-school needs. School supplies Laura Demarco, The Plain Dealer School supplies Marc's has all the school supplies you could ask for… along with packed-lunch foods, apparel and, well, pretty much anything else you need. The locally owned grocery store has nearly 60 locations in the state of Ohio, mostly centered around its origin in Northeast Ohio. The first Marc's store opened 40 years ago at 6849 Southland Dr., Middleburg Heights. Whether you're in need of back-to-school office gear, handmade paper or a specific art supply, Hollo's Papercraft (1878 Pearl Rd., Brunswick) has it. The family-owned shop has been selling paper for over 70 years. Reduce, reuse, recycle. It's basically the motto of Upcycle Parts Shop (6419 St. Clair Ave.), a craft business that specializes in finding new life for donated craft and office materials. Art supplies and basic school supplies are usually well-stocked at low prices inside the small, earth-friendly store.
