STAUNTON - Police arrested a man and woman Tuesday morning for indecent exposure after they reportedly engaged in a very public display of oral sex in the parking lot of a Staunton gun shop.

Officers from the Staunton Police Department were initially called to Nuckols Gun Works at 1301 Barterbrook Road for a report of an intoxicated woman urinating and defecating in public. The call came in shortly before 11 a.m.

Police located the woman, 39-year-old Elizabeth E. Brent, who allegedly became belligerent. Brent, of Staunton, was charged with disorderly conduct.

Following the arrival of police, an off-duty game warden approached the officers and said he reportedly saw Brent performing oral sex on a man in the parking lot of the gun shop, out in the open. Police located the Staunton man, 56-year-old William M. Pearson, across the street. He was charged with indecent exposure, as was Brent.

Pearson was also charged with being drunk in public.

Brent has a long history of arrests. Court records show that since 2009 she has been arrested in Staunton 40 times for being drunk in public. She also has past charges for assault on a law enforcement officer, resisting arrest and obstruction of justice.

Pearson was convicted of being drunk in public in 2015, according to court records.

Both suspects were taken to Middle River Regional Jail and have since been released.
