Deputies say unzipped pants led to obscenity arrest at Covington coffee shop

Deputies say unzipped pants led to obscenity arrest at Covington coffee shop
St. Tammany Parish Sheriff's Office

A Covington-area man exposed himself to an employee at a coffee shop in St. Tammany Parish, the sheriff's office says.




According to deputies, 62-year-old Mark Long entered the coffee shop on March 20 with his pants unzipped, placed an order, and then exposed himself to a female who worked at the café.

Authorities say this wasn't the first time.

"During the course of the investigation, detectives learned Long had been at the same business the previous day and was observed on surveillance video acting in a similar manner," the report notes.

"This type of behavior is unacceptable and will not be tolerated in our community," said Sheriff Randy Smith. "We encourage business owners and citizens to report suspicious or inappropriate activity so it can be addressed promptly."

The sheriff's office says Long surrendered Monday and was booked with one count of obscenity.
