Beaverton police on Sunday arrested a 37-year-old man twice accused of masturbating in public.

Beaverton police arrested Byron Boye Harris on allegations of incident exposure.

Byron Boye Harris, of Beaverton, faces two counts of public indecency.

Harris is accused of masturbating in public on May 7 in the 6000 block of Southwest Hall Boulevard and again on Monday in the 14000 block of Southwest Allen Boulevard.

According to police, the suspect entered a laundromat on Monday and stripped down to his shoes and socks and began masturbating in front of a 70-year-old woman.

Officers had surveillance photographs of the suspect and asked the public on Facebook to help identify the man.

While tips came in, an officer on Sunday saw a man walking down the street who matched the description, said Officer Jeremy Shaw.

Shaw said the officer stopped the man, who eventually admitted to the exposure incidents.
