BRUNSWICK — A Harpswell man was charged with indecent conduct Sunday night after allegedly nearly urinating on a police officer who was checking on his well-being.
Brunswick officers were patrolling Sunday night when they saw a man getting into a vehicle on Station Avenue.
The man fell out of the vehicle, so officers pulled over just to check on him, and keep him from driving if he was intoxicated, said Brunswick Police Cmdr. Marc Hagan.
While police were talking to the man, he allegedly unzipped his pants and started to urinate on the road, “nearly missing one of the officers,” Hagan said.
The man was identified as Deane Kennedy, 62. He was arrested for indecent conduct and once at the police station, Hagan said he wouldn’t sign the summons so he was taken to jail. Both charges are class E misdemeanors, according to Hagan.
