An Easton man is accused of masturbating as he walked around a Palmer Park Mall store’s lingerie and juniors departments.

Samuel Ginel, 400 block of East Kleinhans Street in the city, was arrested and charged with open lewdness and possession of marijuana.

The 29-year-old Ginel is free after posting $5,000 bail on Tuesday. Efforts to reach Ginel were not successful.

Records show Ginel was charged in January with indecent exposure and open lewdness stemming from an incident in South Whitehall Township.

The indecent exposure charge in the South Whitehall case was dropped at the district court level, but was added back in Lehigh County Court, records show.

Ginel was due for a status conference in the case on Tuesday, but that was rescheduled for July 24. He is free on $10,000 bail in that case.

Palmer police said they were called a little after 10:30 a.m. Monday to the Boscov’s in the Palmer Park Mall.

Boscov’s employees reported they watched Ginel via surveillance camera as he walked around the store for 30 minutes in the lingerie and junior’s departments.

Ginel was seen “playing with his penis,” and trying to be noticed by female customers and female employees, according to police.

When officers stopped Ginel, he was searched and police said they found a green prescription bottle with marijuana inside.
