Former Atlanta Falcons running back Jamal Anderson is accused of exposing himself to a convenience store clerk in Suwanee, Georgia, early Wednesday.
Anderson, now 44, allegedly walked into the store and began handing money over to the clerk but didn’t ask for anything, according to the 911 call obtained by the New York Daily News.
The clerk said the former NFL star then took out his penis and started masturbating after going to the back of the store with his phone “for quite some time.” The caller did not recognize him as the former All-Pro running back, describing him only as a 6-2 black male (Anderson is listed as 5-11) in jeans and a sweater with a flat-brim cap.

“Suwanee PD got a 911 call early Wednesday morning from the clerk at a QuikTrip. The clerk reported a black male had walked into the store early Wednesday morning, slurred something and started handing over money. He started walking around the store. A short while later he walked up to the clerk and took out his penis and started masturbating.”
Since the clerk did not want to press charges, the police issued a ticket for public indecency rather than arresting Anderson.
This is not the first time Anderson has gotten into trouble with the law since he retired from the NFL in 2001. In 2009, he was arrested and charged with possession of cocaine. He’s also been arrested for DUI in 2012, 2014 and 2015. Earlier this year, he served three days in county jail for that 2015 DUI. He was arrested again in August for driving with a suspended license. In 2013 he foreclosed on his Atlanta mansion.
Atlanta selected Anderson in the seventh round of the 1994 NFL Draft. He went on to play in 88 career games, rushing for 5,336 yards and scoring 34 touchdowns.
He was named a first-team All Pro in 1998 when the Falcons went to the Super Bowl.
