Police in Vacaville, Calif., say an “alert citizen” helped them apprehend a man who was exposing himself to diners at a Chili’s restaurant on Friday night.
“As families and friends attempted to enjoy their dinner on Friday night, they may have been interrupted by a large police presence in the area of Harbison Drive and Nut Tree Parkway,” the Vacaville Police Department wrote on Facebook.

“Around 9 pm, officers responded to the area of Chili’s, BJ’s and Rock & Brews after receiving a call about a man … who was reportedly purposefully exposing himself to other citizens nearby.”
Police say the man, identified as 55-year-old Charles Jenkins of Florida, had been sitting at the Chili’s bar when the concerned citizen confronted him about his behavior.
Jenkins then fled on foot, running to a nearby Rock & Brews restaurant and locking himself in the bathroom, while the citizen followed and provided information about the man’s whereabouts to police.
