Indecent Exposure Suspect Arrested Near Children's Center

COSTA MESA, CA —Orange Coast College was locked down on Wednesday while police responded to an indecent exposure call. A 23-year-old San Bernardino man, not a student of the school, was arrested on suspicion of exposing himself on the Orange Coast College campus near the children's center.

Campus security personnel responded Wednesday morning after reports to a report of a suspicious man near the campus E Lot, she said, and found the suspect, Sungyoun Jung, hiding in bushes and peering over a wall of the children's center while allegedly exposing himself, Costa Mesa Police spokeswoman Roxi Fyad said.

The suspect became "combative" as the security guards attempted to subdue him, Fyad said. Costa Mesa police were summoned to the scene to make the arrest. Pepper spray was used during the arrest.

The college's Early Childhood Lab School and the OCC Children's Center were placed on a brief lockdown during the incident.

It was not clear why he was on the campus.

Jung is due in court Friday on a prior charge of misdemeanor possession of drug paraphernalia stemming from an April 19 arrest, according to court records.
