Naked jumping jacks led to cross-burning suspect’s latest arrest, report says
HORRY COUNTY, SC (WMBF) - Newly obtained documents detail the new allegations that landed one of the suspects in a November cross-burning back in jail.
Alexis Hartnett, 27, was arrested on Sunday and charged with a count of obscene exposure.
Horry County police were called around 11:40 a.m. on Friday to a home on Corbett Drive for a previous indecent exposure incident.
There, a neighbor told the officer they saw Hartnett on the afternoon of March 2 in her front yard on Corbett Drive screaming and doing “what appeared to be jumping jacks while topless,” a police report reads.
The neighbor then showed the responding officer a video of the incident, according to Hartnett’s arrest warrant.
The police report adds there is no fence at the home or anything that would prevent people from seeing into the yard of the Conway-area home.
Hartnett was released from jail after posting a $10,000 bond on Tuesday afternoon.
During her bond hearing on Sunday, a judge said that if Hartnett posted bond, she must be on home detention. She is also not allowed to have contact with the victim, who is a man with two small children.
Hartnett’s arrest came days after a different court hearing for Hartnett was rescheduled due to what a judge cited as a medical issue. She’s also due back in court later this month on a third-degree assault and battery charge.
Hartnett and her boyfriend, Worden Butler, additionally face an effort from the 15th Circuit Solicitor’s Office to kick them out of a home on Corbett Drive through a temporary injunction.
The pair rent the home from Butler’s mother, who filed a request to dismiss the injunction in February. Her filings claim boarding up the home for a year is not a solution but “an overreach of government.”
Recently filed documents from prosecutors detail a history of alleged harassment with affidavits provided by multiple neighbors.
Hartnett and Butler are also accused of burning a cross in November, facing their Black neighbors, Shawn and Monica Williams, in an effort to intimidate them.
