79-year-old arrested for exposing himself in mall

An elderly Brookfield man was arrested for exposing and fondling himself in a Mayfair mall bathroom last week.

According to the Wauwatosa police report:

Security staff received numerous reports of a man exposing himself in the bathroom about 11:30 a.m. July 6. An officer found the 79-year-old man standing in front of a urinal.

When the officer acted as if he was a mall patron using the restroom, the man turned to him and began to shake his penis with his hand. Then he looked at the officer and smiled.

At that point, the officer identified himself and told the man to zip up. He was arrested for lewd and lascivious behavior.

He had been in the restroom for about 30 minutes. An employee from a mall store who takes his break the same time each day said the same man had been standing for lengthy periods at the urinal six of the seven times he had been in the bathroom in the past two weeks.
