Man exposes genitals to officer By Ellen Hine emhine@indiana.edu | @ellenmhine
A 60-year-old man was arrested for public nudity Friday after he showed his genitals to a police officer. Bloomington Police Department Sgt. Brandon Siniard said he was on a routine patrol around 4 p.m. in the downtown area when he noticed Buford Ison standing near the corner of Sixth and Lincoln streets near the Monroe County History Center. Siniard said he thought he saw Ison pull his genitals out of his pants and gesture towards his groin but was unsure since he was roughly 50 feet away from him. When he got closer, Ison exposed himself to Siniard again. Ison was arrested for public nudity. When Siniard identified him, he discovered Ison had active warrants for public nudity, unauthorized entry of a motor vehicle, theft, public intoxication and criminal mischief. Ison was not intoxicated when he was arrested.

Police are investigating an unidentified man accused of cashing fraudulent checks Thursday at four different Peoples State Bank locations around Bloomington. Bloomington Police Department Sgt. Brandon Siniard said the Peoples State Bank south branch manager contacted police at around 10 a.m. Friday after discovering the checks were fraudulent. The man cashed checks appearing to belong to JB’s Salvage, a local scrap metal recycler and junk car buyer. When the south branch bank contacted JB’s Salvage, the business confirmed it had not issued the checks. The man cashed checks at four Peoples State Bank locations between 12-2 p.m. Thursday: the south branch at 301 E. Winslow Road, the east branch at 525 S. Clarizz Blvd., the downtown branch at 200 E. Kirkwood Ave. and the west branch at 3400 W. Third St. Sinaird said it is unknown how much money the man cashed out and if the checks were stolen from JB’s Salvage or forged. BPD detectives are still investigating the case.
