Ann Arbor woman reports man exposed himself as he ran through neighborhood
An Ann Arbor woman reading on her porch Thursday morning got an eyeful of a man who was running between houses with his pants down holding his genitals.
Ann Arbor police Lt. Renee Bush said the woman was reading at 9 a.m. Thursday at her home in the 500 block of Benjamin Street when a man suddenly appeared between her home and the one next door. The woman told police the man had his sweatpants down and appeared to be fondling himself.
The woman was surprised and the man appeared to be startled when he saw her, Bush said. After noticing the woman, the man went back between the houses and fled the area.
The man is described as black, 5-feet-9 inches to 5-feet-11 inches tall, 150 pounds, short afro, muscular but thin, wearing black sweatpants and a black backpack.
Bush said the description of a man is similar to that of a man who attempted to break into a home in the 100 block of Packard Street earlier on Thursday. The investigation into both incidents continues.
Anyone with information on the incident is encouraged to call the Ann Arbor police anonymous tip line at 734-794-6939 or Crime Stoppers at 1-800 SPEAK UP (773-2587).

Maybe they should have said "waddling" if his pants were down!

There two steps victims can take that will likely curb further further expositions: Point and laugh.

Awful good description of a running man. Was it possible he was just urinating why he ran off when he noticed the woman watching him?

Okay, so was he wearing black sweatpants, or wasn't he?

Honestly, with the current fashions many youngsters are almost there. A good wind and many pants would fall.

Ther's this one guy that I know and he said..... "He should be apprehended and turned over to the proper authorities!!" "The main suspect is a man with the alias Exposo the clown."

Running with your pants down while holding your genitals sounds a lot like those field sobriety tests no living human can pass, even those who are as sober as some of our judges often are before lunch.

which raises a curious question.....would I rather face the judge before lunch or after lunch?

It seems like it would be very hard, physically, to run with your pants down while holding your genitals.

I've seen guys who match that description walking around town with their hands in the same area. I think that is how certain people carry themselves in these modern times.

all the exposures this summer is a clear indication of global warming......either that or its part of a conspiracy to make us believe global warming. Eeny, meeny, miny, moe,.....

Is this becoming a new sport in Ann Arbor? Will there be teams soon?

It's more of a solo sport.
