KENNEWICK -- A Kennewick man was arrested Monday for allegedly exposing himself to a 9-year-old girl while inside the Kennewick Walmart store last weekend.
Osvaldo Sinohe Orendain, 32, was booked into the Benton County jail on suspicion of lewd conduct.
The girl's mother contacted the Kennewick store's employees at 8:45 p.m. to report the inappropriate action by an unknown man.
The suspect reportedly left the 2720 S. Quillan St. store after seeing the girl tell her mother about the incident.
Officers who quickly responded to the store saw a white 1991 Chevy Vandura conversion van with a design on the side leaving the area, said Mike Blatman, Kennewick police spokesman.
Police reviewed store surveillance and connected the van to the suspect, who was then identified as Orendain, Blatman said.
Officers tried to contact Orendain on Saturday but he wasn't home. Benton County sheriff's deputies checked the home throughout the night, but he reportedly never returned.
On Monday, Kennewick detectives located Orendain and asked him to meet with them. He was arrested after the interview.
