A Catholic priest from Towson was sentenced to 360 days in jail, with all of the time suspended, after pleading guilty in Harford County Wednesday to a single charge of indecent exposure, stemming from his arrest inside an Abingdon adult bookstore in January.

Although Rev. Mark Stewart Bullock won’t serve any jail time, he will have a significant probation period and, for now, a guilty finding on the misdemeanor charge.

Harford County Sheriff’s deputies discovered Bullock, who at the time was with the Church of the Immaculate Conception in Towson, exposing himself in a back room at Bush River Books & Movies, according to charging documents.

The deputies found Bullock in the last film viewing theater of the Pulaski Highway bookstore on Jan. 16, without pants and in an area that the public could see him, according to Assistant Harford County State’s Attorney Trenna Manners, who prosecuted the case in Harford County District Court.
