Taunton man arrested for allegedly exposing himself in busy fast food restaurant

RAYNHAM, Mass. (WLNE) — A Taunton man has been charged after allegedly exposing himself inside a busy Raynham McDonald’s restaurant Saturday, according to the Raynham Police Department.

Christopher Lloyd Blake, 36, was arrested and charged with open and gross lewdness, disturbing the peace and resisting arrest in connection to the alleged September 6 incident, according to Raynham Police Department Chief David LaPlante.

Raynham officers responded to the 365 New State Highway McDonald’s at approximately 5:28 p.m. Saturday for a report of a male who had exposed himself inside the business.

According to Chief LaPlante, Blake had been asked to leave the premises multiple times by employees.

He had allegedly exposed himself near the counter while a family with children was ordering, according to LaPlante.

There was a children’s birthday party in the busy restaurant at the time of the alleged incident.

According to LaPlante, the investigation determined that Blake appeared to be highly intoxicated at the time.

Blake initially resisted handcuffing before ultimately being taken into custody, was noncompliant during booking and exposed himself again in his cell, according to Chief LaPlante.

Blake is scheduled for arraignment in Taunton District Court on Monday.
