Details

An off-duty firefighter from Johnson Creek called 911 Thursday afternoon after observing a man exposing himself while seated in a car parked near the front of East Towne's Barnes & Noble bookstore. The witness, who was very upset and shook-up by what he had seen, said the man was looking at women while doing this, and that one woman was walking with a child. A private security guard also witnessed the act. The driver pulled away before police arrived. However, the firefighter got a good description of the car and a license plate number. Utilizing those, the MPD identified and located a suspect. He denied involvement, saying witnesses must have gotten the wrong plate. He was arrested on tentative charges listed above.
