A Maryland woman was arrested in Rehoboth Beach for giving pedestrians on Wilmington Avenue a little too much of a view.

Police say Jennie Lee Martin, 37, of Chevy Chase, Md., was walking topless in the first block of Wilmington Avenue Sept. 24. After citizens called police, officers asked her to put her shirt on, which she did, but not before demanding officers show her the law prohibiting her from walking around topless.

Police said further investigation showed that Martin was approached by a male witness, who observed families hiding their children’s view of Martin’s bosom, and asked Martin to put her shirt on. Martin allegedly shouted profanity and spit on the man, police said, and the altercation was witnessed by a 9-year-old.

Martin refused to be put in handcuffs or show identification, police said, with a struggle ensuing to cuff her. Police searched Martin’s purse and found marijuana and a broken pipe, and police said she had an odor of alcohol on her breath.

Martin was arrested on charges of first-degree indecent exposure, resisting arrest, possession of marijuana and disorderly conduct, all misdemeanor offenses. She was incarcerated at Sussex Correctional Institution in lieu of $1,500 secured bail.
