— Police say they found a drunken man sitting along Cranberry Lake with his genitalia exposed last Sunday.

Police had responded to the lake after getting a call about a naked male, possibly masturbating near the South Shore Road boat launch, police said.

An officer found David N. Chenard of Newton sitting on the cement wall of the spillway along the walking trail at the boat launch, police said. Chenard was intoxicated and exposed, and told officers he had wanted to go swimming, but didn't want to get his clothes wet, police said.

HE was arrested and transported to police headquarters, where Byram patrol officers met up with State Park Police, police said.

He was charged with lewdness and disorderly conduct by Byram police, and swimming in an unauthorized area and possession of alcoholic beverages in a state park by State Park Police, police said.

He was released pending a mandatory court date, police said.
