Shelton Man Charged With Indecency

Shelton police arrested a Nichols Avenue man after they said an officer found him with his pants down at Riverview Park.

Police were dispatched to the park about 11 a.m., on Howe Avenue, on a report of a suspicious male in a vehicle.

An officer approached the vehicle in question and noticed a man in the driver’s seat with his pants down.

“The male could not explain why his pants were down or why he was in the area,” a press release issued by Lt. Robert Kozlowsky said.

The officer then arrested the man, Michael Chupick, 63, on a charge of public indecency.

Chupick was released on a written promise to appear at Superior Court in Derby May 1.

“Police responded to a report of a suspicious male in a similar vehicle in the same area yesterday, but were unable to locate the male at that time,” the press release said.
