Flashing suspect arrested near elementary school

Gomez was issued a citation and was released.

MEDFORD, Ore. -- A man was arrested Wednesday afternoon for exposing his genitals, just steps away from Washington Elementary in Medford.

Police caught the suspected flasher, 19-year-old Sergio Cortes Gomez, on his bike. They recieved calls from parents of the school, who said he was exposing himself in an alleyway.

Although it didn't take long for police to track him down, they had problems communicating with him.

"It appears that he's deaf," said Sgt. Phil Eastman with the Medford Police Department.

Gomez was handcuffed outside of the Peach Street Market & Deli, on the corner of Peach street and 13th Street.

"It's disappointing," said Leslie McKenzie, who was working at the market when Gomez was arrested. "I would think people could behave themselves around children. But unfortunately that's just not the case."

McKenzie also lives across the street from the market. Her granddaughter goes to Washington Elementary right down the street.

Police said Gomez lives in the neighborhood where he was arrested. McKenzie said he often comes into the store.

"He wears a hearing aid," she said. "He doesn't speak English at all, only speaks Spanish but does best with sign language."

Gomez was issued a citation and was released. He will soon have to appear in court.

"We take this very seriously," said Sgt. Eastman. "Especially when it's in front of an elementary school."

Check this out...they released this guy with a ticket!

Good ol' sanctuary city of Medford! Not only do we have to pay for a Spanish interpreter, but a signer as well! Do ya think he'll show up for court????LOL!


OK. So if this Mexican were NOT a Mexican and spoke English, would he STILL have been RELEASED?

Anybody?

Sounds like he is recieving a lot of help with his disabilities. Poor thing, he is disadvantaged.

Happy, I can only think that if it had been an English speaking citizen, that not only would they under the jail, their pictures would have been plastered all over every liberal paper in the state.
