A Guelph man was arrested after he was allegedly observed masturbating in public at two locations Friday, including near an elementary school.
Approximately 10 a.m. police were called to the area of a school just outside the downtown. Staff had observed a man on the edge of the school property with his hands down his pants and apparently masturbating. He was confronted by staff and left the area.
Three hours later police received a report of a man exposing himself and masturbating in the area of Dean Avenue and Talbot Street. He was observed by two females. The description of the man in both incidents was similar.
Just before 1 p.m. the man was located and arrested. A 31-year-old Guelph man is charged with two counts each of committing an indecent act and breach of probation. He was held for a bail hearing and has been released to appear in a Guelph court.
