An Oklahoma City man faces three charges, including indecent exposure, after a reported incident with a door-to-door magazine salesman.
About 1:40 p.m. Friday, police responded to a call at an apartment complex in the 5900 block of South May Avenue. According to officials, the salesman was invited into Colin Maher's, 20, apartment to discuss buying magazine subscriptions.
The salesman was in the apartment for about five minutes, and Maher stripped naked while he was leaving, according to a police report. Maher asked the salesman if he would "do things to him," which shocked and frightened him.
The salesman said once he left the apartment, Maher repeatedly called his cellphone and started to follow him around the apartment complex, according to the report. The salesman called the police.
After an officer placed Maher under investigative detention and into his squad car, Maher said that, "He is naked in his house all of the time because it is his house and he is comfortable that way," and that, "His religion requires him to be naked," according to the report. Maher's mother arrived at the scene and was asked to stand back while officers investigated.
While in the squad car, Maher reportedly kicked out the side passenger window, according to the report. Officers removed Maher from the car and restrained him on the ground,which reportedly caused his mother to charge at the officers, according to the report.
One of the officers held back Maher's mother, and she was told to leave or she would go to jail. She left the scene, according to the report.
Maher was arrested and booked at the Oklahoma County Jail. Along with the indecent exposure charge, Maher was charged with offering to engage in an act of lewdness and destroying property.
