An Ottawa man by the name of “Popadick” (yeah, you heard me) was arrested Tuesday at Riverside Ottawa Park for indecent exposure.
According to reports, since April 14th police had been receiving reports of “a balding white male exposing himself at Mooney’s Bay Park, a Rideau River park just north of the Ottawa International Airport.”
On Tuesday at around 9 a.m., police were again alerted by reports of the man exposing his genitalia to strangers along a park pathway.
Officers in the area were dispatched to the park, where they arrested Donald Popadick, 62. Charged with Indecent Act and Mischief, he is due for a Wednesday court appearance.

— Sgt. Iain Pidcock (@SgtIainPidcock) April 29, 2014I’ll admit I’m kinda curious to see a mugshot of this “Popadick” guy. So far, Ottawa police haven’t posted one yet.
As a side note, this quote from the Canadian National Post had me in stitches:
The name Popadick remains quite rare in Canada. As per a countrywide telephone directory search, only three households carry the name “Popadick,” all of them within a few hours’ drive of Ottawa.
Why did they feel obliged to add that, I wonder?
