Police: Man exposed himself near playground

Newport Beach police arrested a man who allegedly exposed himself near a playground at the beach Tuesday afternoon.

Roberto Trello Ramirez, a 34-year-old Costa Mesa resident, was near the Balboa Pier wearing a pair of paper pants, which had been issued to him in a jail, authorities said.

The pants had a tear near the crotch, according to police.

“The tear was large enough to expose his genitals while standing, and the situation was exacerbated when Mr. Ramirez laid out on a bench, with his legs spread, near a playground,” Newport Beach police spokeswoman Jennifer Manzella said.

Officers arrested Ramirez on suspicion of indecent exposure, Manzella said.
