BEACH HAVEN – Police have arrested a sunbather for allegedly leaving too little to the imagination.

Borough police announced on Sept. 28 that they had arrested 59-year-old Stephen Wojciehowski of Stafford on suspicion of lewdness.

The investigation began on Sept. 14, police said, “based upon information provided by several eyewitnesses” who spotted Wojciehowski hanging out at the Ocean Street beach.

“Based on the reported information, Stephen Wojciehowski spent two days on the beach, wearing a homemade, clear plastic wrap bikini, where his genitals were clearly exposed and observed by the public, on the public beach,” police announced on Facebook.

Police said they released Wojciehowski pending a court appearance.

In 2000, Wojciehowski ran for mayor of Stafford as a long shot candidate against then-Mayor Carl W. Block, in a three-way race that included former Mayor Wesley K. Bell. In the May 9 non-partisan municipal election of that year, Wojciehowski received almost 12 percent of the vote.
