Resume:
Newark – A Newark man has been charged after Troopers determined he exposed himself to a woman while stopped at a red light.

The incident occurred on May 1 at approximately 8:30 p.m. as the 45-year-old female victim was sitting in her vehicle, which was stopped at a red light on North Harmony Road at Ogletown Stanton Road. The windows of the victim's vehicle were open.

The victim heard a person in the vehicle next to her say "how do you like it?" The victim looked over to see the driver of that vehicle masturbating while looking at pornography on a laptop computer.

After learning that the Newark Police Department had arrested Charles C. Word, 31, for a similar act, Troopers obtained a warrant for Word's arrest. Word came to Troop 6 on June 14 where he was charged with one count of indecent exposure second degree and released on $500 unsecured bail.
