After a man tried to price check his privates at a Capitol Hill grocery store Wednesday night he ended up in jail on $500 bail.

Employees at the QFC in the 400 block of Broadway East noticed a man standing at a self-checkout station about 5 p.m., laughing to himself and plopping his genitals on top of the scanner, Seattle police reports say.

The man soon took off but returned five hours later, only to be confronted by employees.

Workers told the man to leave, but he refused and pushed store security, according to police. He left but officers found him at Broadway East and East Harrison Street and arrested him.

Seattle police booked him into King County Jail for investigation of indecent exposure.

The same man was arrested earlier this month for investigation of property destruction and assaulting a police officer, also on Capitol Hill.
