The man was doing it in front of the window with his light on. He knew enough to turn the light off when the police arrived.
This story is presented totally from the exhibitionist guy's side. In another report I read that he was in front of the window with the light on, and he turned the light off when the police arrived. Who stands in front of a window with the light on to do that sort of thing? Only someone who means to be seen, imo. Obviously others agreed with me, just not the judge.
He became chicken during the choke.
