Canonsburg Police Charge Man With Open Lewdness

Canonsburg police early Monday charged a man with open lewdness and indecent exposure after responding to a woman's complaint that a man was touching himself inappropriately at a borough business.

Officers were summoned to the Snowy White Laundromat on West Pike Street after a woman complained she could see a man lying on the counter there, "exposing his genitals and masturbating," according to a report.

When the Canonsburg officer arrived, he observed the man in the act. According to the report, when the officer exited the vehicle, Wallace partially pulled up his pants and sat up.

Asked why he was at the establishment, Wallace reportedly told police he had been kicked out of his home and needed somewhere to "hang out."

Wallace was transported to the Canonsburg Police Department, where he reportedly gave false information to officers, including an incorrect address.

Wallace was arraigned before district Judge David Mark and placed in Washington County Jail on $3,000 straight bond, where he remained Monday afternoon.
