Tobergta admitted to the act and told officers that he has a problem and needs help, police say.

Hamilton Municipal Court records show that Tobergta has been arrested at least five times previously for similar offenses. He was indicted in May 2010 for tampering with evidence and possessing criminal tools. Then in 2008, he was convicted for public indecency and was sentenced to community control. He was also required to seek mental health services, according to WKRC.

Tobergta is currently being held at the Butler County Jail on a charge of public indecency and contempt of court.
