Driver arrested for masturbating in public

Birmingham police officers on Tuesday, July 29, at about 1 p.m. were dispatched to North Old Woodward and Oak, where a 53-year-old Bloomfield Hills woman and her 19-year old son from Franklin reported seeing a man masturbating while driving a red convertible with its roof down on North Old Woodward at Willits.

At approximately 6 p.m. that evening, officers located the suspect vehicle at Old Woodward and Maple, and observed the driver, a 24-year-old Clarkston man, engaging in the same behavior.

Officers conducted a traffic stop and questioned the man, who admitted watching pornography on his cell phone and masturbating while driving.

He was arrested and later arraigned on a warrant issued by the Oakland County Prosecutor’s Office for aggravated indecent exposure, a two-year misdemeanor.
