NEWPORT BEACH, CA — A transient was caught exposing himself to the unaware in Laguna Beach and charged with felony indecent exposure, as well as a plethora of misdemeanors on Monday, according to court records.
This is not the first time 63-year-old Mark Erik Anderson was caught flashing, as he was recently convicted of the same in Los Angeles County, court records show. In early November Anderson was also ticketed for jaywalking in Newport Beach.
