Shaun McMurtrie, the former director of education for the American Philatelic Society, is no longer employed by the APS following his arrest Sept. 21 for allegedly engaging in lewd behavior in front of a woman in Spring Township, Pa.

A report published Sept. 24 on the StateCollege.com website stated that McMurtrie was arrested “after officers responded to a report that a naked man … exposed himself on a Cole Street porch and then fled, according to an affidavit of probable cause filed by township police.”

“McMurtrie is charged with misdemeanor counts of indecent exposure, open lewdness and loitering and prowling at night,” according to the StateCollege.com report.

Following his arraignment with District Judge Gregory Koehle, McMurtrie posted bail of $25,000. A preliminary hearing was scheduled to take place Oct. 2.

American Philatelic Society executive director Scott English revealed Sept. 24 that McMurtrie is no longer an APS employee.

“Since this is a personnel matter, I can only confirm that he is no longer with the APS,” English told Linn’s Stamp News on Sept. 25.
