A Lafayette man was arrested Friday after he allegedly exposed himself in public.
Ruston Police received a call Friday night from a woman who said a man was following her. Officers responded to the location and found De’Jerkrick P. Wiggins, 22. Wiggins told officers he and his friend had gotten into a verbal altercation and the friend left. Wiggins said he had urinated on the corner of Bonner Street and Park Avenue and then sat down just as the officer arrived. Wiggins first said he had contacted Ruston Police.
The woman was interviewed nearby and said Wiggins had been following her. She said when she entered her car, Wiggins exposed himself, but it was not to urinate.
Wiggins was arrested and booked at the Lincoln Parish Detention Center for obscenity.
Bail was set at $5,000.
