WARREN, Ohio -- (WKBN) -- A Warren man was arrested after he was accused of touching himself inappropriately in front of nursing home residents.

Matthew Knepper, 26, is charged with public indecency.

Police said on Sunday afternoon, they received a report that a man was performing a sex act in front of residents at the Washington Square Nursing Home in Warren.

An officer arrived to find Knepper standing near the side entrance of the nursing home, according to a police report. The officer said a witness pointed to Knepper and identified him as the man who was in front of a dining hall window, which was packed with residents.
