BRYAN, Texas — A Bryan man is in the Brazos County Jail after being accused of masturbating in public and being in possession of prescription drugs that allegedly didn't belong to him.

Kenneth Leonard, 61, is charged with one count of indecent exposure and three counts of being in possession of a dangerous drug.

Bryan police officers said they responded to the 1600 block of South College Avenue just before 12:30 pm Sunday due to a report of a man, later identified as Leonard, exposing himself and yelling loudly. Officers said they found Leonard under a tree with his pants down and he was masturbating.

When officers asked Leonard why he was masturbating on a busy city street, he allegedly told them because he can and there was nothing wrong with it, according to the arrest report.
