The Kosciusko County Sheriff’s Department received a report Jan. 28 that on Jan. 27 a minivan with a taxi cab sign on top stopped at the Amish school at 7022 W. CR 1300N, Nappanee, and Gibbs exposed himself to the children.
Kosciusko County Sheriff’s Department arrested Gibbs Feb. 2 in connection with the incident in Nappanee.
Gibbs admitted to a KCSD detective that he had stopped outside an Amish school in the Nappanee area and exposed and touched himself to children in the area.
Police later uncovered that Gibbs had two previous incidents of exposure. In 1989 and 1991, Gibbs was convicted of exposing himself in Michigan.
