During a search incident to arrest, officers reported finding a glass pipe with burnt residue and 15 small plastic vials in defendant’s pockets
Charges of indecent exposure, open lewdness, and additional drug offenses lodged against a Philadelphia man accused of exposing himself near the Lansdale Boys & Girls Club were held for Montgomery County Common Pleas Court at a recent preliminary hearing.
Antoine M. Washington, 46, of the 3300 block of North Gratz Street, was charged last month with misdemeanor counts of indecent exposure, open lewdness, possession of a controlled substance, and summary charges of possession of drug paraphernalia, public drunkenness and disorderly conduct, according to a criminal complaint filed by Lansdale Police.
Police were dispatched at 11:24 a.m. Feb. 13, 2026 to the rear of 210 W. Main St. for a report of a man taking his clothes off and talking to himself, according to the affidavit.
A witness told officers she observed Washington with his pants down to the ground and his boxers pulled to mid-thigh while making a “stroking motion” near his genitals, per the complaint.
The incident allegedly occurred in a rear parking lot directly facing the Boys & Girls Club during daytime hours with heavy pedestrian and vehicle traffic in the area.
Responding officers located Washington walking in the 100 block of West Main Street. Police alleged he appeared to be under the influence of a controlled substance, was yelling, fidgeting, screaming at traffic and making aggressive gestures toward vehicles. Authorities also confirmed he had active warrants at the time of the encounter.
During a search incident to arrest, officers reported finding a glass pipe with burnt residue and 15 small plastic vials in Washington’s pockets. Eleven of the vials allegedly contained an off-white crystal-like substance consistent with methamphetamine, while four contained residue, according to the affidavit.
Police noted the suspected methamphetamine was not field-tested but was identified based on officers’ training and experience, a policy adopted for officer safety due to dangers of methamphetamine.
Bail for Washington was originally set at $277 cash bail, which included a parole/probation detainer, set at a county bail hearing, according to court documents. However, the bail was changed by the Common Pleas court to $10,000 unsecured.
Washington remains jailed in Montgomery County on a separate drug case out of Worcester Township, at $5,077 cash bail, which includes a detainer.
In March 2025, Washington was sentenced to six to 14 months in Montgomery County jail after pleading guilty to misdemeanor terroristic threats and criminal mischief from a Bridgeport Borough arrest, according to court records.
Court records in Pennsylvania also show seven inactive cases involving Washington as a defendant: Five non-traffic offenses and two traffic cases.
He is represented by public defender Kamryn Regan Randall. Formal arraignment is set for April 1, with a pre-trial conference set for April 9.
All suspects and defendants are innocent until proven guilty. This story was compiled using public court records.
