A Marion County man is in jail Friday morning, accused of exposing himself to joggers.

Police said 30-year-old Margio Castillo admitted to driving to Gainesville more than 100 times to flash people running alongside the road.

They said he would return home in time to be at work at 6:00am at a landscaping company, back in Marion County.

“He said it was stress relief and the first time he did it he thought it was funny then he got addicted and couldn't stop," said Det. Leah Hayes of the Gainesville Police Department.

He is facing charges of battery and exposure.
