An Evarts man was recently arrested after allegedly walking along the bypass in Harlan with his genitals exposed.

Steven Penny, 33, was arrested by Harlan City Police Department officer Derrick Noe on Nov. 11.

According to Noe’s citation, Penny was walking along the bypass with his pants falling down, exposing his genitals. Noe asked him to cover himself and offered to give him a ride if he needed one. Penny allegedly refused the officer and continued walking with his pants down.

Noe said he told Penny he could either pull his pants up or he would be taken to jail for indecent exposure. Penny told the officer he would like to go to jail because he “needed to get showered.”

Penny was arrested and was charged with second-degree indecent exposure.

He was lodged in the Harlan County Detention Center on a $250 full-cash bond.
