CBS News reports that Police in New Castle County, Delaware arrested a Verizon employee for lewdness after responding to a compliant by witnesses who claim that they saw the man masturbating on the street in North Wilmington.

City authorities say that 18-year-old Daniel Chelland, who is a resident of Wilmington, was in the neighborhood going door to door soliciting Verizon services. Witnesses say that, while on a break, Chelland was allegedly sitting on a curb and masturbating while watching a woman doing gardening work.

Chelland was no longer on the scene by the time the police arrived, but he was later apprehended and charged with lewd behavior. Unable to post bail, which was set at $20,500, Chelland was sent to the Howard Young Prison facility in northeast Wilmington.
