Salt Lake City: A judge is issuing an arrest warrant for a 77-year-old Utah man who police say was sunbathing nude in his backyard next to a church parking lot.
Court records show the $5,000 cash-only warrant was issued on Tuesday after Myron Lee Kipp failed to show up at a court hearing in his lewdness case.
The Farmington man has pleaded not guilty to seven misdemeanor counts of lewdness, four involving a child. Defence attorney William Albright didn't immediately return a message seeking comment.
Police say Kipp's neighbours reported he was sunbathing nude in his backyard on March 5. His yard has a chain-link fence with no privacy slats. Police say several parents said their children could see him, but Kipp told an officer he could do want he wanted on his property.
