PANAMA CITY — A Panama City man in jail on murder charges is facing additional charges after allegedly exposing his genitalia to a female guard, according to court documents.
Khiry Ross, 24, appeared in court Monday to hear a charge for “exposure of sexual organs,” stemming from an August incident in Bay County Jail. Ross is currently in Walton Work Camp on charges of second-degree murder but was incarcerated in Bay County at the time.
The female guard was making her rounds at about 9:45 a.m. on Aug. 13 in the Confinement Dormitory Pod #4 of the jail. Ross was being held in a cell with a steel grated door.
When the guard approached the cell door, Ross allegedly was standing at the door exposing himself, according to court documents.
Ross was initially arrested in connection to the shooting death of 19-year-old Jshun Smith outside of KJ’s Nighclub in Panama City on June 9. Officers reportedly learned Ross and Smith had been in a confrontation inside the club, and the argument spilled outside where both men pulled a firearm and fired several shots in the parking lot.
Ross is scheduled for a pretrial conference on Sept. 15 for the alleged shooting.
