Arredondo was inside his parked car at a Walgreens on June 26, 2016, when he began masturbating while staring at a 13-year-old girl, who was in the car next to him, according to court documents originally obtained by KTAB-TV in Abilene.

When the girl's mother returned to the car from the store, her daughter said a man had been staring at her. She looked at the adjacent vehicle and made eye contact with Arredondo as he "pointed to his genitals," the indictment states.

The woman and her daughter "could see that he was masturbating," so the woman told her daughter to take a photo or video of Arredondo while she called the police.

Arredondo then "smiled at them and gave a 'thumbs up' as he drove away," according to court records.

The woman posted the video of the man to social media to warn people in the area.

"Within a few hours she received replies identifying the man as Michael Arredondo," the indictment states.

Police eventually tracked him down and arrested him. If convicted, Arredondo could face up to 10 years in prison.
