A Paulden man was arrested on charges of indecent exposure, disorderly conduct, and tampering with physical evidence after exposing himself and changing his clothes in an attempt to elude law enforcement.
According to the Yavapai County Sheriff’s Office, just before midnight on Saturday, a woman called to report a man walking on Bramble Drive near Enid Drive exposing himself. Deputies located the man, still fully exposed, near State Route 89 and Bramble Drive in Paulden. He attempted to flee over a barbed wire fence, but was located an hour later walking near the intersection of Enid and Alpine in an apparent change of clothes from what he was originally seen wearing.
The man was detained by deputies and confronted about the incident and the original set of clothing, which were ultimately found to be in his possession.
