Landyn Spearman Charged in Lowe’s Indecent Exposure Case

SEO Information

Summary

A Florida Lowe’s shopping trip turned into an indecent exposure case after deputies said a 20-year-old man repeatedly asked an Instacart shopper for photos of her feet, exposed himself, and followed her through the store until she approached other customers. The suspect was identified in the arrest report as Landyn Matthew William Spearman of Fruitland Park, Florida.

The incident occurred on Tuesday morning, July 7, 2026, at the Lowe’s located at 13705 U.S. Highway 441 in Lady Lake, Sumter County, Florida. The Smoking Gun reported that Spearman was arrested for indecent exposure after the encounter, and Villages-News reported that the woman was completing an Instacart delivery when she was approached by a man she did not know.

According to the arrest report image published by The Smoking Gun, the woman told deputies that she was working an Instacart order inside Lowe’s when an unknown white male repeatedly asked her for photographs of her feet. She declined the requests. The report said she eventually accepted the man’s phone number in an effort to end the uncomfortable encounter and continue working.

As she walked away, the man allegedly called out to her. When she turned around, deputies said he exposed himself and made a vulgar sexual statement. Because the case involves a public sexual allegation and an adult victim who was only trying to complete a delivery job, this article avoids repeating unnecessary graphic language beyond what is needed to explain the charge.

The victim told deputies that Spearman followed her into the Lowe’s store after the exposure. She said he left the area only after she approached a group of customers. Villages-News reported that the victim immediately notified Lowe’s employees and contacted law enforcement. No physical injury was reported, but the alleged behavior created a public safety and harassment concern inside a retail store.

Investigators used the phone number that the man had given the victim to identify Spearman. The arrest report also said automatic license plate reader records independently confirmed that Spearman’s 1999 white Ford Expedition was in the Lowe’s parking lot during the timeframe of the offense. Deputies described that information as corroborating the victim’s account.

During a recorded interview on July 8, 2026, Spearman reportedly admitted that he was the person who approached the woman at Lowe’s. The arrest report said he also admitted he repeatedly requested photographs of the victim’s feet, provided her with his cell phone number, exposed himself to her, and made the vulgar statement described in the report. Deputies wrote that those admissions were consistent with the independent evidence developed during the investigation.

Spearman was arrested on one count of exposure of sexual organs under Florida Statute 800.03. The arrest report listed the charge level as misdemeanor and listed a $1,000 bond. The Smoking Gun reported that Spearman was booked into the county jail and later released on $1,000 bond. It also reported that an August 19 court appearance was scheduled in the misdemeanor case.

Florida Statute 800.03 defines unlawful exposure of sexual organs as exposing or exhibiting sexual organs in public, on the private premises of another, or close enough to be seen from private premises, in a vulgar or indecent manner. The statute also covers being naked in public in a vulgar or indecent manner. A first violation is generally a first-degree misdemeanor, while a second or subsequent violation can become a third-degree felony.

For sentencing context only, Florida law says a first-degree misdemeanor can carry up to one year in jail and a fine of up to $1,000. Those are possible statutory limits, not a confirmed sentence in Spearman’s case. No conviction, plea, dismissal, probation order, jail sentence, or final court disposition was confirmed in the accessible sources reviewed for this article.

The case should therefore be described carefully as an arrest and allegation. The arrest report contains statements attributed to the victim, corroborating records, and alleged admissions from Spearman, but those are still part of a charging-stage criminal case. Spearman is presumed innocent unless and until proven guilty in court.

The victim’s name was redacted in the arrest report and was not publicly reported in the reviewed sources. This article does not identify her. She should be described as an Instacart shopper or delivery worker who was completing an order at Lowe’s when the alleged incident occurred. The facts do not require naming a private victim in a public sexual-exposure case.

The case drew attention because of Spearman’s surname and the oddity of the reported foot-photo requests, but the legal issue is plain: a retail worker or delivery shopper should not be sexually harassed, exposed to, or followed while doing her job. The name made the headline write itself with a grin and a cymbal crash. The alleged conduct, though, is why deputies filed a criminal charge.

Section 1: The Crime

The alleged crime was exposure of sexual organs, commonly described as indecent exposure. Deputies said Spearman approached a woman working an Instacart delivery at Lowe’s and repeatedly asked for photographs of her feet. After she tried to end the encounter and walk away, he allegedly exposed himself and made a vulgar sexual proposition.

The victim said Spearman followed her into the store until she approached a group of customers, at which point he left the area. Deputies later wrote that Spearman’s recorded interview admissions substantially corroborated the victim’s account.
