Seattle police arrested a 51-year-old man Monday night after he was caught "posing naked" at a popular downtown brewery and restaurant.

Police responded shortly before 11 p.m. to Pike Brewing Company at 1415 First Ave. on report of a naked man walking through the restaurant. Security had already detained the man before cops arrived.

A customer reportedly notified the hostess that a man was "using the bathroom" in the lobby, police reports say. The hostess went to investigate the complaint and found the 51-year-old man "posing naked" against a wall, according to records.

The police report on the incident is brief and appears to leave out a few details, but a security officer found the man across Post Alley from the restaurant in a garden, where he appeared to be trying to hide.

Police arrested him for investigation of indecent exposure. Police say he was previously convicted of the same crime in 2011.
