Robertsdale man convicted of indecent exposure sentenced under state habitual offender law

ROBERTSDALE, Alabama -- A Robertsdale man will serve three years of a 10-year sentence following his conviction in October of exposing himself to two women at a gas station in Robertsdale.

The Baldwin County District Attorney’s office confirmed on Monday that Dana Stegall, 49, of Robertsdale, was sentenced last week by Judge James Reid.

According to jail records, Stegall was arrested May 24 on charges of indecent exposure, a charge that carried a $250,000 bond.

The Baldwin County Corrections Facility website shows 19 arrests for Stegall dating back to 1991 with charges including indecent exposure, public lewdness, harassing communications and resisting arrest.

According to reports, Stegall was indicted in May on two felony counts of indecent exposure and two misdemeanor counts after exposing himself to two women – one from Pensacola, Fla., and the other from Loxley.

The misdemeanor counts were dropped and Stegall was tried and convicted on the felony counts in October.

Reid also ordered Stegall to serve five years of probation after his release and he must pay a $500 fine and give $250 to a fund for crime victims, according to reports.

Stegall was sentenced under Alabama’s felony indecent exposure law, which applies to persons who have at least three misdemeanor indecent exposure convictions. The Baldwin County District Attorney’s Office used six of Stegall’s prior convictions as a basis to charge him under the felony law.
