Denton police arrested a man Wednesday night after he al­legedly shoplifted a tube of male enhancement cream in a store and then decided to try it out.

A loss-prevention officer in a store in the 1500 block of South Loop 288 called police about 9 p.m. The officer said he saw the suspect pick up a $24 tube of cream and then walk to another section of the store, where he took the tube out of its box and put it into his pocket.

Then the suspect walked into the men’s room, the report states. The officer followed him. The suspect walked into a stall and the officer could hear him removing the lid from the tube, according to the report. After using the cream, the man re­turned to the main area of the store.

The officer watched as the man then walked to the Barbie Doll aisle of the toy section and exposed himself twice. Then he went back into the men’s room and used the cream again, ac­cording to the report.

The officer called police.

Arriving officers saw the man again in the store, where he exposed himself several more times, according to the report.

The officers arrested the suspect on theft and indecent exposure charges.

Other reports

900 block of Avenue A — Officers responding to a loud party complaint Wednesday night could see four people through the open blinds of a window drinking beer, according to a police report. The people did not look old enough to legally drink alcohol, an officer noted.

He knocked on the door and a man opened it, stepped outside and tried to close the door. The officer tried to hold it open and a brief tussle took place over the door, which the man said he wanted closed.

The officer placed his foot in the door, blocking its closure because he believed the people were illegally drinking inside, according to the police report.

He entered the apartment and three of the four people inside began yelling at him and demanding that he leave. He called for other officers to help because at least one of the people was nearing violence.

Another officer helped get the people under control. One 21-year-old man, who was the resident of the apartment, was arrested for providing alcohol to minors. The other three, who ranged in age from 18 to 20, were cited for underage drinking.
