Clayton police arrest man believed to be 'pants-less prowler' who walked through front yards
Clayton police have arrested a man they say is connected with at least two cases of public nudity in December.
Posted — UpdatedThe videos were obtained by police after complaints from multiple neighbors. After an investigation, the Clayton Police Department obtained warrants for the arrest of 18-year-old Carlos Antonio Soto.
Soto, of Bobby Ray Court, was charged with indecent exposure.
Police said social media helped them identify a suspect and make the arrest.
“We truly appreciate the community’s help in bringing this disturbing case to close,” said Clayton Police Chief Blair Myhand.
“More and more people are installing cameras on their homes and the surveillance video is incredibly helpful to law enforcement everywhere in catching criminals. In this instance though, we needed the law to catch up to technology. For now at least, cameras can’t be victims; only people can.”
