According to the Kanawha County Sheriff’s Department, 61-year-old Eddie M Campbell from Belle was caught at Booker T Washington Memorial Park in Malden with his shirt off and his pants around his ankles.

Deputies say Campbell was sitting on a park bench with an armless mannequin on his lap, holding it with one hand and pleasuring himself with the other.

When the deputy identified himself, Campbell stopped, pushed the mannequin off him and pulled his pants up.

All of this happened in a residential area and close to a church, according to deputies.

Campbell has been charged with indecent exposure. He is now in the South Central Jail on a $2,500 (€1,900) cash only bond.

The Kanawha County Sheriff’s Office said Campbell was spotted in the park just before 9am on Sunday.

When Deputy Middleton ordered Campbell to stop, Campbell replied: “Just trying to have a little fun.”
