Man Caught on Camera Masturbating in His Car Had Meth and a Cucumber on Him During Arrest: Cops

A Michigan man has been charged after he was caught allegedly masturbating in public and was arrested allegedly with meth and a cucumber on him.

Michael Thomlinson, 45, was arrested on Sept. 29 in Dearborn Heights after he was allegedly seen touching himself in public. Upon his arrest, authorities said they allegedly discovered meth and a cucumber with him.

As reported by FOX 2, Thomlinson has been charged with possession of methamphetamine, aggravated indecent exposure, and indecent exposure by a sexually delinquent person. The purpose of the cucumber was unclear.

Thomlinson had been on probation at the time of his arrest for aggravated indecent exposure last year, per the station.

This is the third incident of its kind that happened in the area. On Oct. 1, a man was caught masturbating the parking lot of a middle school, and on Oct. 2, a man was caught touching himself in his car at a park while fully nude, as reported by MLive.

"Anytime you get these reports of something very similar to this, yes, there is no coincidence," Paul Vanderplow, with Dearborn Heights police, told FOX 2. "It sounds like one of those TikTok challenges."
