On March 24, 2025, I, Deputy Schuster, responded to 30828 Highway 441 (Zaxby’s) in reference to an indecent exposure call. Report taken and pushed to CID for further.
On scene, I met with [REDACTED BY AGENCY] and her son [REDACTED BY AGENCY]. [REDACTED BY AGENCY] called dispatch due to her son’s girlfriend calling him in a panic stating, “Come now,” and hung up the phone. [REDACTED BY AGENCY] stated they were able to get [REDACTED BY AGENCY] girlfriend, later identified as [REDACTED BY AGENCY] back on the phone and she told them one of her male co-workers exposed himself to her. While [REDACTED BY AGENCY] was on the phone with [REDACTED BY AGENCY] called dispatch. They notified me that the manager on duty had let the male go and that he had run out the back door. Sergeant (Sgt.) Haack patrolled the area while I spoke with everyone. It was determined that the male had left the scene in a vehicle prior to our arrival.
[REDACTED BY AGENCY] was still inside the restaurant when I arrived and [REDACTED BY AGENCY] went inside to make sure she was okay. After gathering some information from [REDACTED BY AGENCY], I went inside to make sure [REDACTED BY AGENCY] and [REDACTED BY AGENCY] were okay. [REDACTED BY AGENCY] was waiting by the door while [REDACTED BY AGENCY] got her things to leave.
The assistant manager, [WITNESS #1], saw me and stated, “if I would have known you called the police, I wouldn’t have made him go home.” [WITNESS #1] stated that due to [REDACTED BY AGENCY] being so upset, she did what she thought was right and got the male out of the building. I asked [WITNESS #1] the male employee’s name and she stated it was Myles Tittle. [WITNESS #1] went and pulled Myles’ employee file in order to provide me with more information.
[REDACTED BY AGENCY] gathered her belongings and appeared uncomfortable within the restaurant so we went outside to the parking lot. [REDACTED BY AGENCY] completely broke down in [REDACTED BY AGENCY] arms. When [REDACTED BY AGENCY] came outside, she appeared highly distraught and was crying uncontrollably. [REDACTED BY AGENCY] was unable to speak at first due to how distraught she was. While speaking with [REDACTED BY AGENCY], she appeared to almost be hyperventilating as she tried to speak with me and explain what had occurred. I told her to take her time with telling me what happened. When [REDACTED BY AGENCY] appeared to be able to talk, I asked if this was the first time Myles had done something like this towards her. [REDACTED BY AGENCY] stated it was the first time. [REDACTED BY AGENCY] stated he is a big guy that works in the kitchen. [REDACTED BY AGENCY] works the register in the front of the restaurant.
I asked [REDACTED BY AGENCY] to tell me what happened. [REDACTED BY AGENCY] stated she was taking the lobby trash out and Myles was taking out the big bin out and Myles asked her if she just wanted to come out with him. [REDACTED BY AGENCY] agreed to the help. [REDACTED BY AGENCY] stated she was throwing the trash away while Myles was handing her the bags. [REDACTED BY AGENCY] stated she turned around at one point and Myles had, “his wiener whipped out from his zipper.” I asked [REDACTED BY AGENCY] if Myles was holding his pe*is in his hand or if it was just out. [REDACTED BY AGENCY] stated he was, “just air dogging it,” while making a motion of swaying her hips back and forth. [REDACTED BY AGENCY] stated she did not say anything to him at the time because she did not want him to do anything to her. [REDACTED BY AGENCY] stated she was blocked in by the trash cans and the only opening to which she could leave, Myles was standing in. [REDACTED BY AGENCY] stated Myles stepped into the inside of the trash area and she still did not say anything with the fear that Myles would do something to her.
[REDACTED BY AGENCY] stated she just wanted to leave but did not feel like she could safely. [REDACTED BY AGENCY] stated Myles whispered, “hey come over here,” and at that point she walked away and climbed through the drive thru window. [REDACTED BY AGENCY] stated she had to do this because she did not want to have to wait for someone to come open the back door while he was still next to her. I asked [REDACTED BY AGENCY] if it seemed like Myles was blocking or cornering her by the trash cans and she stated yes. [REDACTED BY AGENCY] stated he did not say anything else to her. [REDACTED BY AGENCY] stated after she got inside, she went and told [WITNESS #1] what occurred. [REDACTED BY AGENCY] stated [WITNESS #1] then went over to Myles and told him to clock out and leave. [REDACTED BY AGENCY] was unaware if Myles had said anything to [WITNESS #1] as she was in the lobby while they were in the back. Sgt. Haack then asked [REDACTED BY AGENCY] if Myles’ pe*is appeared hard or soft when he had it out. [REDACTED BY AGENCY] stated she was unsure as she was not trying to look right at it. [REDACTED BY AGENCY] did stated again that Myles was just air dogging it and shaking it at her. [REDACTED BY AGENCY] stated that it not appear to be fully hard nor fully soft.
Sgt. Haack and Corporal Pressley went into Zaxby’s to get more information from [WITNESS #1]. When Sgt. Haack came back out, he stated [WITNESS #1] informed him that Myles told her, “I’m sorry if she saw anything.” [WITNESS #1] left prior to filling out a witness statement however Sgt. Haack stated he would go have her fill one out on tomorrow’s date.
[REDACTED BY AGENCY] mother, [REDACTED], arrived on scene. Sgt. Haack explained to [REDACTED BY AGENCY] that CID was contacted and would be taking the next steps with the investigation. They were explained that CID possibly would want to do a forensic interview with [REDACTED BY AGENCY] and would be in contact with them. I provided [REDACTED BY AGENCY] and her mother with a Banks County business card with th case number to this report.
I stood by with all parties while they made sure [REDACTED BY AGENCY] was okay to drive. While waiting, the general manager, [REDACTED], arrived on scene to check on things. [REDACTED] provided his information in case it’s needed.
[REDACTED BY AGENCY] ended up driving [REDACTED BY AGENCY] home, [REDACTED BY AGENCY] mom went back to work, and [REDACTED BY AGENCY] followed the juveniles to the house.
On call CID was notified.
