    INDIANAPOLIS (WISH) - An Indianapolis man was arrested Friday after he allegedly pleasured himself in public.

    Russell Burwell, 56, was arrested for indecent exposure and resisting law enforcement.

    According to an Indianapolis Metropolitan police report, around 4 p.m., dispatch received a call from a woman who said there was a man pleasuring himself on the railroad tracks at East Street and Interstate 465.

    When police arrived on the scene, the officer noticed a man that matched the caller’s description. When the man saw the officer, he began to run on the tracks.

    After a brief chase, the officer caught Burwell. Burwell denied the caller’s allegation and said he was urinating.

    Burwell is a convicted sex offender and has a warrant for his arrest out of California, the report said.
