Burke County Man Sent To Prison On Indecent Exposure Charges

A Burke County man who’s been convicted multiple times of exposing his genitals to others will spend time in prison after he pleaded guilty to two felonies on Monday.

23-year old Tristan Douglas Coffey entered the guilty pleas to felony indecent exposure and second-degree kidnapping during Burke County Superior Court.

Superior Court Judge Daniel A. Kuehnert sentenced Coffey to at least 2 years, 2 months in prison. His maximum sentence is 3 years, 8 months. He will get credit for 127 days he’s spent in jail pending trial.

The felony indecent exposure charge stemmed from a May 5 incident where Coffey was accused of exposing himself to a child care worker at Morganton First Church of God.
