Man Arrested for Indecent Exposure in Phoenix Airport
On Friday, a man allegedly tried to take off all his clothes at the terminal check-in in the Phoenix Sky Harbor Airport. He was arrested for disorderly conduct and indecent exposure for undressing. The man later told police his actions were the result of him missing his medication for bi-polar disorder.
In Nevada, people break Las Vegas indecent exposure law (NRS 201.220) by exposing their private parts, especially in a sexually suggestive way, such as flashers. Suspected prostitutes are frequently arrested for indecent exposure if cops find them soliciting by bearing their bodies. A mother breast-feeding her child is not considered indecent exposure in Nevada.
A first offense for breaking Las Vegas indecent exposure law is a gross misdemeanor, carrying up to one year in jail and/or up to a $2,000 fine. Any subsequent offense for breaking Las Vegas indecent exposure law is a category D felony, punishable by one to four years in prison and maybe a $5,000 fine. People charged with this crime are frequently also charged with open or gross lewdness.
