An employee at Mad Hatters Smoke Shop in Wiscasset has been arrested and charged with indecent conduct, according to a press release from Wiscasset Police Department.

Michael Hoffman, 39, of Waldoboro, allegedly exposed himself to a 51-year-old Dresden woman while working at the 291 Bath Road store.

Hoffman, who was identified by police as store owner's brother, was behind the counter at the time of the alleged incident.

Wiscasset Police Officer Alfred Simmons responded to the store on Friday, Sept. 18 at approximately 1:45 p.m. after the woman came to the police department to report the incident and write a statement, the release states.

Hoffman allegedly told Simmons that his penis had been exposed; he told Simmons that he hadn’t been wearing a belt and that was why his shorts fell down, the release continues.

Hoffman was also discovered to be out on bail on other charges and was arrested for violation of conditions of release for the new criminal conduct.

He has an arraignment date of Oct. 29 at 8:30 a.m. at the Lincoln County District Court.
