PASCAGOULA, Mississippi -- A 70-year-old Moss Point man told investigators that he forgot he was naked when he stood in his doorway and waved at two young girls, Sheriff Mike Byrd said this morning.
"He said, 'That's my story, and I'm sticking to it,'" Byrd said.
Byrd said Herman Broadus, who lives on Buttercup Drive in Moss Point, was arrested late Tuesday afternoon and charged with two counts of indecent exposure.
"The girls live in the same neighborhood," Byrd said.
The siblings, ages 10 and 8, were walking by Broadus' house and saw the 70-year-old man standing naked in the doorway, holding something in one hand and waving to them with the other, Byrd said.
"He claims he was headed to the shower, and got caught up in something on TV when he walked by it," Byrd said. "He said he forgot he was naked, saw the girls and waved to them."
Broadus remained in the Jackson County Adult Detention Center this morning, pending an initial hearing before a county judge.
Broadus faces up to 1 year in prison and a fine of $1,000 if convicted.
