Man who flashed Amish women gets probation
WILMINGTON TOWNSHIP — A Volant man who exposed himself to two Amish women and two girls was ordered to pay fines and costs and got 3 years’ probation before District Judge Lorinda L. Hinch on Friday.
Donovan Barrett Ford, 34, of 475 Main St. pleaded guilty to three counts of open lewdness. Charges of indecent exposure, corruption of minors, harassment and disorderly conduct were withdrawn.
Police said Ford drove past an oncoming Amish buggy on Indian Run Road near Leesburg Station Road at about 5 p.m. on Nov. 29. The buggy carried the women and girls.
Ford turned around and passed the buggy a second time, then stopped in the middle of the road in front of them. He got out of his car naked and faced the victims, police said.
The women and children drove around him and went to a nearby house, where the resident called police. All four victims were separately able to pick Ford out of a lineup, police said.
