Indecent Exposure
Location: 2200 Block of The Alameda
Officers were dispatched to the 2200 block of The Alameda on the report of a male subject causing a disturbance inside a local restaurant.

The officers noticed he was wearing a scrub style shirt and a hospital wristband. Due to his behavior and concern that he may have recently been released from the hospital, the Santa Clara Fire Department was called to check the subject’s medical condition.
Officers learned the subject had exposed himself and masturbated in front of the female employees. He was arrested and transported to the Santa Clara County Jail.
