Andover Man in the Buff Arrested at Danvers Motel

Danvers police arrested a 63-year-old Andover man staying at the Motel 6 on Route 1 early Monday morning for indecent exposure.

Police said the man, Charles Parry, of 6 Random Lane, Andover, was walking around the motel fully nude around 6 a.m. when a female manager spotted him entering the lobby.

The manager confronted Parry and he explained that he was locked out of his room, the woman told police. But just a few minutes later, she spotted Parry again in an upstairs hallway as she was bringing towels to another guest’s room, police said.

This time, Parry was wearing a shirt, but no pants, according to reports.

Police Sgt. Robert Bettencourt said that’s when the manager called police to report the incident. Bettencourt said officers arrived and spoke with Parry in his room, after which he was taken into custody and charged with indecent exposure.

“He [Parry] didn’t deny it,” Bettencourt said.

Parry was arraigned in Salem District Court on Tuesday.
