Ingraham was arrested on two counts of public indecency following a report from a witness that he had exposed himself and was hiking naked at Sleeping Giant State Park according to the Environmental Conservation (EnCon) Police.

The arrest concluded an investigation stemming from a complaint from an adult female who told EnCon Police that a man had exposed himself to her and was hiking naked in Sleeping Giant State Park in Hamden on two separate dates — April 1 and April 9, according to a press release.

Information developed by EnCon Police, with the assistance of the Connecticut State Police - Western District Major Crime Squad, led to Ingraham's arrest, authorities said.

Ingraham was released on a court-ordered $10,000 surety bond and is scheduled to appear in Meriden Superior Court on June 19.
