A man was arrested after he exposed himself while watching women in the Covington area, according to the St. Tammany Parish Sheriff’s Office.

Deputies responded to a report from a woman who stated she was stopped at a traffic light at Hwy 90 and Holiday Boulevard when a silver Hyundai Sante Fe pulled up beside her with a man inside.

The woman said that the man rolled down his window, leaned his seat back and began staring at her while making motions that led her to believe he was masturbating, the St. Tammany Parish Sheriff’s Office says.

The woman was able to get a license plate number of the man’s vehicle. Deputies were able to locate it and conducted a traffic stop.

The driver, identified as 63-year-old Craig Nolinske, stated that he was only adjusting his underwear, the St. Tammany Parish Sheriff’s Office says.

A search of Nolinkse’s phone revealed a video, from earlier in the day, of him exposing himself and masturbating while parked in the Claiborne Hill Shopping Center parking lot.

Nolinske was arrested and booked into the St. Tammany Parish Jail on an obscenity charge. The investigation is ongoing and additional charges are possible, the sheriff’s office says.
