A Maine Man was arrested late Monday night after allegedly exposing himself to students on the Bates College campus in Lewiston, according to police.

Lewiston Police say they were called to the Bates College campus on Monday, Feb. 26 at approximately 11:47 p.m. for a report of a male exposing himself to students.

After speaking with witnesses and reviewing surveillance footage from the area, with the assistance of the Androscoggin County Sheriff’s Office K-9 team, police located 55-year-old Robert Allen Burgess Jr. of Mechanic Falls hiding nearby, police said.

Burgess was identified by police as the suspect and was arrested, and charged with indecent conduct.

He was transported to the Androscoggin County Jail, where his bail was set at $5.

The Bates College Director of Campus Safety did not immediately respond to a request for comment on the incident.
