KENNEWICK -- Below-freezing temperatures Wednesday night didn't stop a Kennewick man from allegedly standing outside a woman's west Kennewick home in just a bathrobe.

The 69-year-old woman called Kennewick police at 11:10 p.m. after she saw the man masturbating in the street while looking through her window, said Mike Blatman, Kennewick police crime prevention specialist.

The woman reported the man got into a full-sized white truck and left the area on 21st Avenue.

Responding officers were unable to find the suspect, but he apparently returned to the woman's home about 30 minutes later, Blatman said.

The victim again called 911 when she saw the man sitting in his truck parked in front of her home.

Officers stopped the truck as it was leaving the area and identified the driver as Jimmie W. Moser, 56.

Moser, who lives around the corner in the 1500 block of South Van Buren Place, was found inside the truck wearing only a robe, Blatman said.

Moser refused to answer any questions after his arrest and was booked into the Benton County jail on suspicion of lewd conduct.
