Police arrested a Van Buren man for indecent exposure after he left a photo of his genitals on a motel vending machine, police said.
Authorities believe Curtis Leo Dechaine, 40, left the photo taped to a drink machine at Motel 6, 1700 Fayetteville Road, on Jan. 8.
“It was in a public area where anyone staying at the motel could have come in and found it,” Grill said.
The photo had Dechaine’s cell phone number on it, so an undercover police officer called him and set up an appointment.
Later that day, police waited at the motel for Dechaine. Police said Dechaine entered the parking lot and circled it before leaving the area. In a separate and unrelated incident, Dechaine was pulled over by a patrol officer for suspicion of fictitious tags, Grill said. He was cited for having no liability insurance and driving on a suspended license.
An undercover police officer back at the hotel received a call from Dechaine, who said he wouldn’t be able to make it because he just got pulled over by police on a traffic violation.
