MTSU football has had a key member of its staff arrested by police in Middle Tennessee after an alleged indecent exposure event at a Target department store near the school that sits some 30 miles southeast of downtown Nashville.
As reported by WSMN NBC-4 Nashville, MTSU Blue Raiders Director of Player Personnel Nic Woodley was arrested by police Sunday in Murfreesboro after Woodley allegedly exposed himself to “a young girl at Target.”
Police charged Woodley with both indecent exposure and resisting arrest.
Per the WSMV report, Murfreesboro Police noted that a young girl informed them that Woodley was inside the store and “complimented her outfit before moving a basket away from his groin and exposing his genitals.”
The Target department store is less than five miles from the MTSU campus located near downtown Murfreesboro, a centrally located Tennessee city that has soared to a population near 160,000 and emerged as one of the top-five fastest-growing cities in the United States.
“Nic Woodley has been suspended as we continue gathering information on the incident,” MTSU Athletics Director Chris Massaro said in a statement. “We are disappointed and take these matters very seriously.”
Woodley was released on $3,000 bond from the Rutherford Count Adult Detention Center, per WSMV.
An University of Alabama graduate who worked in the Crimson Tide football program as a team manager, Woodley has been on coach Rick Stockstill’s staff now for six years.
Woodley spent his first five seasons in coaching roles, serving as both a quality control coach and defensive graduate assistant before he was named the Blue Raiders’s director of player personnel in March 2022.
