A man was arrested on Friday for causing a disturbance at East Towne Mall when he refused to pull his pants up over his exposed underwear, police said.

Madison police arrived at East Towne Mall at approximately 9 p.m. on Friday to find a dispute already ongoing between mall security and Steven L. Price, of Madison, according to a statement.

Mall security had asked Price to walk with his pants pulled up because his clearly visible underwear violated mall policy, the statement said. Price refused to comply, and left the mall, although he later returned, the statement said.

When Price returned to the mall, he became more agitated and was detained by Madison Police, where he was then arrested and transported to Dane County Jail, police said.
