Man Charged After Reportedly Exposing Himself to Wedding Crowd

A Butler County man was charged Saturday after the incident at the Doubletree Hotel in North Strabane.

North Strabane police charged a Butler County man with indecent exposure and open lewdness after he reportedly exposed his genitals to a crowd of guests attending an outdoor wedding on Saturday.

Police said Randy Wayne Northcutt, 44, had been warned once by the manager of the Doubletree Hotel on Racetrack Road that guests at the poolside wedding had complained "that a white male was exposing his genitals from a window on the fourth floor."

According to the complaint, the manager told Northcutt that "there were young children outside and that he needs (to) close the curtain for the window and to stop exposing his genitals, or that he would call the police."

Court records indicate a witness told police that "he observed that the male was masturbating at times during the 10 minutes."
