ALBANY — A 45-year-old Gardiner, Maine, man was arrested Sunday on criminal trespass charges after a teenage girl found him staring at her from below an outhouse seat, police said.
Police pulled Gary Moody from the waste tank under a log cabin outhouse off the Kancamagus Highway at about 12:30 p.m. Sunday.
"We had to decontaminate him," said Capt. Jon Hebert of the Carroll County Sheriff's Department, adding that firefighters hosed the man down before police handcuffed him.
"We treated him as if he were hazardous material," Hebert said.
Moody, 45, of Nash Road in Gardiner, was arrested Sunday in the area of the Lower Falls off the Kancamagus Highway in the White Mountain National Forest, a popular swimming hole. He was charged with criminal trespass. Police said he may face additional charges.
Carroll County Sheriff's Department investigating officer Jon Hebert could not be reached immediately yesterday for comment.
Moody is free on $250 personal recognizance bail and is scheduled to answer the criminal trespass charge at 8:30 a.m. on July 19 in the District Court of Northern Carroll County.
According to papers on file at the court, Moody has owned the Winsor Convenience Store in Winsor, Maine, for the past four years and has a previous drunk driving conviction.
