Huron County drops charges against man accused of lewd behavior with picnic table

4/1/2008

BELLEVUE, Ohio - Felony indecency charges against a Bellevue man accused of lewd behavior on a deck behind his house were dismissed yesterday, but other charges may be filed, Huron County Prosecutor Russell Leffler said.

Art Price, Jr., 40, was arrested March 20 after officials at a school near his home complained that he was engaging in lewd behavior with a picnic table on the deck - and submitted video evidence. He was charged with four felony counts of public indecency. But Mr. Leffler said the evidence didn't support felony charges, and his office would re-examine the case.
