Newark Man Accused Of Exposing Himself At McDonald's

NEWARK, Del. (AP) -- A registered sex offender is accused of exposing himself in the parking lot of a Newark McDonald's and again inside the restaurant.

State police say a woman reported that a man exposed himself to her shortly before 8 p.m. Monday in the McDonald's parking lot. The woman told police that the man then walked inside the restaurant with his genitalia still exposed. She wrote down his license plate number as he drove away on his motorcycle.

Police ran the tag and viewed surveillance video that showed the man making a purchase while exposing himself. They identified the man as 43-year-old Joel Stevenson of Newark and arrested him without incident at his home. Already a Tier One registered sex offender, Stevenson is charged with lewdness and second-degree indecent exposure.
