Public Lewdness Arrest
On September 9th, 2025, at approximately 3:30 PM, the Homewood Police Department received multiple calls about a male exposing himself on Oxmoor Road near the Edgewood Strip. It was reported that this was the same subject that was exposing himself on September 8th in the same area.
Homewood Police officers quickly responded and located the subject. While he was detained for investigative purposes, multiple citizens, who witnessed the lewd acts on both days, approached officers. Officers explained the misdemeanor warrant process to the citizens and several contacted the Homewood Municipal Court magistrate to pursue charges.
The subject, Patrick Lamar Croskey, age 31, of Birmingham was arrested and charged with Public Lewdness and Disorderly Conduct. He was transported to the Homewood City Jail and is currently being held on a $2,000 bond. Additional charges are pending as more citizens who witnessed the incident are expected to come forward and sign warrants.
As yesterday’s public information announcement explained, this arrest is a prime example of the citizens of Homewood partnering with the Homewood Police Department to keep our community safe. We would like to encourage the citizens of Homewood to continue to report any suspected criminal activity to the Homewood Police Department.
