Upper Arlington police say they arrested a man over the weekend after he allegedly exposed his genitalia to two teenage girls at a frozen-yogurt shop.
Robert W. Cost, 58, of Troy was arrested and charged with a first-degree misdemeanor of public indecency May 5.
According to the Upper Arlington Police Division, Cost was at Orange Leaf Frozen Yogurt, 3130 Kingsdale Center, when he allegedly exposed his genitalia to two girls, ages 16 and 17, seated at an adjacent table inside the establishment.
Police said Cost left the store after police were contacted.
The girls reportedly were able to describe the man physically, as well as his clothing and his direction of travel after he left the store. Responding officers then found Cost a short distance away and detained him after determining he fit the girls’ description of him.
Both girls also reportedly identified the suspect after police apprehended him.
Police said no physical contact or harm was reported by the girls but asked that anyone with additional information about the incident contact the UAPD at 614-583-5160.
