A Mississippi man was arrested on a felony sex charge after he reportedly exposed himself to an underage female.

Kenneth D. Cousin, 33, of Woodland, has been charged him with enticement of a juvenile for sexual purposes after officers with the Tupelo Police Department were called to a local downtown business on Nov. 8.  Cousin’s bond was set at $50,000.

An underage female employee of the business said she was getting out of her vehicle at approximately 8 p.m. when a black male, later identified as Cousin, attempted to get her attention. The female employee said she told Cousin that she was only 16 and wanted to be left alone.
