An Oregon man is facing a public indecency charge
for allegedly masturbating inside a Halloween store to photos of women on the
packaging of “sexy” costumes, according to investigators.
Nigel Smith, 36, was inside the Spirit Halloween
Superstore in Portland last week when a worker and a customer spotted him with
his genitals exposed, according to a probable cause affidavit.
The female customer told police she saw Smith
“whacking off.” Upon learning of the masturbating, a store employee told cops
that she contacted Smith, who was perusing “photos of women on the packaging of
Halloween costumes.”
When a male employee then confronted Smith, he
allegedly shoved the worker and sought to run from the store. The employee told
cops that he subsequently tackled Smith, who bit him.
When a Portland cop arrived at the business, Smith
was pinned to the ground outside the Halloween store by three men. Officer
Matthew Bigoni reported seeing a “very noticeable wet spot on the front of
[Smith’s] grey sweat shorts, directly in front of his genitals.” Smith “said it
was sweat,” added Bigoni.
Smith was charged with felony public indecency and
assault. He is free on his own recognizance and is scheduled for a November 10
court appearance. Smith’s rap sheet includes a 2010 public indecency conviction.
