MAYFLOWER, Ark.-A Mayflower mother is shocked after learning a man was arrested for touching himself inside the parking lot at Mayflower Elementary School.

“That is crazy. My kids go to that school like that’s just very inappropriate for anybody to sit in an elementary school,” Wilkins said.

34-year-old Adam Pounders is facing charges for sexual indecency and possession of a handgun on school property.

Police said they are investigating the case. According to the police report, several witnesses told the schools’ assistant principal that Pounders was sitting in the parking lot touching himself in an inappropriate way.

“You are in front of a lot little kids. He should be put on a registry,” Wilkins said.

Ronda Wilkins said she is disgusted after hearing about the incident.

“It makes me sick to my stomach like to be honest it really does,” Wilkins said.

Mayflower school resource officer Dalton Elliott said the incident started back in August.

“Three different witnesses came to us, said what they seen and what the subject was doing in the car and took a picture of his license plate,” Elliott said.

During the investigation Dalton said they tried to make contact with Pounders.

“He was called to come in for an interview and it didn’t happen,”Elliott said.

A warrant was issued for Pounders and he was arrested in the last few days. During the arrest officers found a gun inside his car.

“It’s horrible to hear that especially where you live and your kids go to school there,” Wilkins said.

Elliott said their main goal is school safety and inappropriate behavior is not tolerated.

“To do something like that it’s not fashionable to have out their in the parking lot in front of everybody. Kids coming and going it was during drop off time,” Elliot said.

“It’s very inappropriate for anybody even if it was not just at an elementary school just at a school period. It’s just disgusting,” Wilkins said.

Pounders will appear before a judge later this October for the sexual indecency charges. A court date has not been set for the possession of a fire arm.

According to court documents online Pounders was dropping his child off at school.
