37-year-old Robert Earl Dodson was taken into custody for indecent exposure, assault on a healthcare provider, and false imprisonment on May 27th. Around 2 p.m., Corey Sullivan, a Vanderbilt Medical Center staff member, told authorities that she was escorting a patient, Dodson, to the restroom so that he could shower. Sullivan entered the restroom, and Dodson entered behind her, shut the door, pulled his pants down, and exposed himself to her. Then, Dodson asked if he could “stick it in her,” to which she told him to put it away and tried to leave the bathroom. Dodson grabbed Sullivan’s left shoulder, preventing her from leaving, and started to kiss her neck until an unknown individual tried to enter the restroom. After this, Dodson released Sullivan, and she exited the restroom. Dodson was later detained for the occurrence.
