CHARLES TOWN, W.Va. — A man is under arrest after numerous complaints someone was exposing himself to residents in the Eastern Panhandle.

Charles Town Police said they got a complaint Tuesday evening just after 5:30, and then four other times within about an hour regarding a man who was in the subdivisions of Norborne Glebe and Crosswinds.

He was taken to the Eastern Regional Jail. His charges include indecent exposure, sexual abuse, DUI, obstructing an officer, and fingerprint refusal.
