CHATSWORTH, Ga. — A Chatsworth man was arrested Friday morning for public indecency at a Dollar General in Chatsworth. An employee told a sheriff’s office captain it wasn’t the first time store personnel had called 911 about the man.

Rickey Lee Sisson Jr., 37, of 351 Estelle Middleton Road, was released from the Murray County jail on Sunday on a $2,000 bond.

“He came in here about a year or so ago,” said Dollar General employee Megan Pollard. The store is at 100 Smyrna Ramhurst Road. “The police came out after he already left and they couldn’t find him. We didn’t know him by name, but when we see him, we go ‘There goes creeper guy.’”

According to an incident report from the Murray County Sheriff’s Office, a deputy was sent to the store on a “suspicious person” report at about 10:30 a.m. Pollard is quoted in the report as saying “I saw the man enter the store, appropriately dressed, covering all of his genitals. As I was walking the store, I saw him shopping in the candy (aisle), and his overalls and pants were unzipped showing his penis hanging out of his pants as he shopped. We have encountered him three separate times and called 911 twice about this in the last year or two.”

Sisson was questioned at the store and told an officer “he did not know he was showing his penis.”

Sisson was not available when a woman answered a phone at a number listed for him. Subsequent calls to the number went unanswered.

Pollard said she is trying to laugh the incident off.

“It kind of gives us something to laugh about other than the mundane of stocking shelves,” she said.
