Vacaville police arrested a 32-year-old man on Thursday after a caller reported he was exposing himself while children were playing near the Ulatis library. Officers say they found the suspect inside the library, detained him at the scene, and later booked him into the Solano County jail on charges related to indecent exposure. The department also posted a short video of the response on its social channels that shows officers detaining the man.
According to Vacaville Police Department, dispatchers received a call reporting a man exposing himself while watching children play, with a caller heard yelling, "If you don't leave, I'm gonna call the cops." The post says officers then received additional tips via social media that the suspect had been seen near the Ulatis library, and they located a man identified as 32-year-old Marcus Hardimon inside the building. Police say Hardimon was detained after telling officers, "take me to jail please," and was booked into the Solano County Justice Center on indecent-exposure-related charges.
Where It Happened
The Ulatis Cultural Center Library is part of the Solano County Library system and is located on Ulatis Drive, a site that regularly hosts family programs and draws children during daytime hours. The branch is listed at 1020 Ulatis Drive in Vacaville on the Solano County Library, which matches the location named in the department's post. That proximity to family-focused spaces helps explain why dispatchers and officers treated the call with urgency.
Charges And Legal Context
The department said Hardimon was booked on charges related to indecent exposure and is being held at the county jail, per Vacaville Police Department. Under California law, indecent exposure (Penal Code 314) can be charged as a misdemeanor or, in aggravated circumstances such as offenses involving minors, as a felony; convictions may carry jail time and sex offender registration requirements, according to FindLaw. Recent bookings for the Solano County Justice Center are posted through the county's inmate search portal at Solano County Sheriff’s Office.
