DADE CITY

A 48-year-old man parked his car in the front row facing the courthouse midday Thursday, pulled down his shorts in front of a Pasco County Sheriff's Office detective and began masturbating, according to a report.

When arrested on a charge of indecent exposure in public, the man — Richard M. Garcia of San Antonio — proclaimed his innocence and said he was just applying hemorrhoid cream to himself, authorities said.
