A man who was arrested Thursday on indecent exposure charges was released from jail and picked up by police again Sunday after people complained he was “mooning” them along the side of the road near Chums Corner.

The 52-year-old Traverse City man first came to the attention of Grand Traverse County Sheriff’s deputies when a resident of Bay Ridge, a Garfield Township retirement community, called police to complain about a naked man.

The witness told deputies he was looking out his balcony window watching birds early on the morning of April 18 when he noticed a suspicious vehicle driving slowly through the neighborhood. When the vehicle stopped directly below his window, the man told deputies, a naked man jumped out and appeared to walk to the apartment below his window. Another resident reported spotting a naked man in the neighborhood earlier that morning.

Deputies arrived, tracked down the suspect, and arrested him.

By Sunday afternoon, the suspect had been released from jail and deputies received a complaint about someone walking near the Rite Aid at Chums Corner and exposing his rear end to passing drivers.

Deputies questioned the suspect – the same 52-year-old from the earlier case – who told them his pants didn’t fit and were slipping down accidentally.

“According to other people, it appeared to be intentional,” says Lt. Chris Barsheff, who said the deputies took the suspect home and added a supplement to the indecent exposure report sent to prosecutors in the earlier case.
