Two homeless men arrested for indecent exposure in separate incidents
Staff report
GAINESVILLE, Fla. – Alan Lorenzo Crittendon, 52, and Akeem Rashad Crumitie, 28, were arrested yesterday for indecent exposure; two victims in a neighborhood near the UF campus reported seeing Crittendon masturbating outside their bedroom windows, and Crumitie was allegedly naked from the waist down at a bus stop on campus. Crumitie, a registered sexual offender, was just released from prison on August 5.
Alan Crittendon
At about 9:30 a.m. on August 30, two victims in the 400 block of NW 10th Street reported that a man was masturbating outside their bedroom windows and exposing his genitals; Gainesville Police Department officers found Crittendon in the 600 block of NW 10th Street. One of the victims recorded a video of the incident and provided it to an officer.
Both victims reportedly identified Crittendon as the man they’d seen outside the window.
Post Miranda, Crittendon reportedly said he was just changing and dusting himself off.
Crittendon, whose address is listed as St. Francis House, has been charged with two counts of indecent exposure. His full criminal history is unavailable because those documents are not posted for sexual offenses, but he has at least seven felony convictions (one violent) and one misdemeanor conviction and has served three state prison sentences; he was most recently released in 2020 after serving a 15-year sentence for robbery. He was issued a Notice to Appear in May 2026 for trespassing after he was reportedly found sleeping in a downtown parking garage, but the charge was dropped less than two weeks later. Judge Joy Danne set bail at $10,000.
Akeem Crumitie
At about 1 p.m. on August 30, a University of Florida Police Department officer responded to a report that a homeless man was naked from the waist down at the bus stop on Gale Lemerand Drive in front of Mechanical & Aerospace Engineering.
The officer reported finding Crumitie without a shirt on, lying down at the bus stop with his hands near his groin area.
Post Miranda, Crumitie reportedly said he was exposing himself so he could sexually pleasure himself while he was at the bus stop.
Crumitie, a juvenile sexual offender who is registered as a transient with GRACE Marketplace as his address, has been charged with indecent exposure. His full criminal history is unavailable because those documents are not posted for sexual offenses, but he has at least five felony convictions (one violent) and seven misdemeanor convictions (non-violent, one for indecent exposure). He has served three state prison sentences, with his most recent release on August 5, 2026. Judge Joy Danne set bail at $50,000.

🤣😂🤣 That’s funny! You should be a comedian.
Let’s see if the higher ups at UF are able to grow a sack and confront the city about this ongoing and accelerating local safety problem. One thing is for sure…when the university actually speaks up on local issues the city changes its tune. The hardcore ideological city will never listen to residents but they’ll damn sure bow to the university when confronted.
And by the way…crap like this happens when local govt and law enforcement are more worried about installing dragnet AI surveillance for Good Samaritan instead of enforcing the law on criminals and derelicts.
I hope everyone realizes we are actively being bit¢h slapped by own local government while they accelerate the coddling of out-of-town molesters and addicts while spying on all of us. People best wake the hell up and fast
Notice they weren’t around City Hall or Ward’s house?
They invite them to the rest of the community but not to where they work or live.
It looks like those sorority girls were just too much for him. This clown belongs behind bars and glass. Did the cops put that stolen bottle of Lubriderm into evidence or did they throw it out?
No wonder UF student parents are up in arms as to the student safety concerns & the crime rate of Gainesville & Police shortage.
9:30 am??!! Watch out…..zero control.
Thank you Alachua county commision and gainesville city government for giving these lovely people a reason to be in Gaineasville. ie Free stuff and services
Cut funding off to the bum magnet Grace Marketplace!
…that’s a lot of homeless crime at or near UF…
hey Mayor Ward! , we are a college town,
Keep the students safe!
Yay Gainesville!
Gville is turning into Bumsville. Thanks Harvey and your accomplices for the addition of these cretins to our community.
both these idiots are habitual sex predators, they are a constant arrest, as seen by his release date of three weeks ago and right back at it
This will come down on our community with ramifications, accountability & consequences . None too soon, enough is enough. The victims of these crimes are all someone’s children. We are not safe.
