Man charged with public indecency
A 36-year-old man is facing criminal charges after he allegedly committed indecent acts Aug. 30, according to a Lorain police report.
Eddie D. Comstock, of Adams Street, was charged with menacing and public indecency.
At 7:53 p.m., police were called to the 1200 block of Missouri Avenue for a menacing complaint.
The complainant said her next door neighbor, Comstock, was banging on her fence and screaming at her children, the report said.
At some point during the incident, Comstock made his way to the front yard of his property, which is beside the complainant’s driveway, the report said.
In the front yard, Comstock began using obscene language and threatening to harm the 39-year-old woman, according to the report.
A one-minute video, recorded by the complainant’s daughter’s boyfriend, shows the entire incident.
In the video, Comstock uses excessive obscenities, and 54 seconds into the video, he used lewd terms referencing to a body part and lifted up his shirt while simultaneously pulling down his shorts, exposing his genitalia, the report said.
The 15-year-old continued to record Comstock for a few more seconds before stopping the recording after he appeared to have calmed down, the report said.
Based on the video, Comstock was arrested at his home and transported to the Lorain City Jail.
There is no court information available on Comstock.
