Bowling Green Man Faces Multiple Charges Following Disturbing Incident Near Local School
In Bowling Green, a startling incident unfolded near Dishman McGinnis Elementary School on a late Monday afternoon. William Frye, a 29-year-old resident, is now facing multiple serious charges after allegedly engaging in behavior that has left many local parents and community members in shock.
It all started at around 5:51 p.m. when authorities received a call about Frye’s indecent exposure in the vicinity of the elementary school playground located on West 15th Avenue. Witnesses reported an alarming scene involving Frye attempting to kick the door of a neighboring home while exhibiting erratic behavior. As if that weren’t enough, after yelling and creating chaos, he began to take off his clothes, ultimately exposing himself to a group of approximately 50 children who were playing nearby.
A Community Disturbed
The neighborhood clearly found his actions very disturbing. One concerned neighbor was the first to alert the police about Frye’s alarming antics. They described him running around the area and yelling at the children, which could be described as a moment of utter chaos. In a location that should have been filled with laughter and joy, instead, residents witnessed the unsettling behavior of a man who was clearly not in a good state.
When the police arrived on the scene to assess the situation, they did not just find a man in distress—they also discovered a bag containing suspected methamphetamine in Frye’s possession. This added a new layer to the already troubling scenario, as the police promptly placed him under arrest.
Charges Piling Up
After the dust settled, Frye was taken to the Warren County Regional Jail and now faces an extensive list of charges that highlight the serious nature of his actions. These charges include:
- First-degree possession of a controlled substance (methamphetamine) – first offense
- Drug paraphernalia – buy/possess
- First-degree indecent exposure – first offense
- Second-degree indecent exposure
- Second-degree disorderly conduct
- Public intoxication – controlled substance (excludes alcohol)
This shocking display has garnered attention not just from the local community, but from officials as well. The Bowling Green Independent School District swiftly acknowledged the incident involving Frye and offered commendation for the rapid response of the Bowling Green Police Department and the vigilant neighbors who took action.
Concerns for Safety
Adding to the seriousness of the situation, it was noted that local nonprofit activities were taking place at the school building and on the playground at the time. This only raises more questions about safety in the area, especially when children are involved. Parents and community members are undoubtedly hoping for increased vigilance to ensure that such alarming conduct does not happen again.
In the days that follow, Bowling Green residents will likely keep a watchful eye as they await further developments in this case. People are understandably concerned, but they remain grateful for the quick work of law enforcement and those who took steps to protect the community during a very unnerving incident.
As Frye’s legal situation unfolds, it serves as a reminder of the importance of community awareness and vigilance. All eyes will be on the proceedings to see how justice will be served in this deeply unsettling matter.
