A 45-year-old man is definitely on the naughty list after allegedly exposing himself to some kids waiting in line to see Santa at a downtown Seattle store.

Seattle police say they got a call just before 10 a.m. Sunday morning from a security guard, who reported a guy lurking around a group of kids waiting for Santa. Police say the man, who was seen drinking a bottle of hard lemonade, had his zipper down and no underwear on, exposing himself to the crowd.

Officers were able to locate the man and arrest him with the help of store security.

It turns out he’d also been arrested recently for lewd conduct outside a Capitol Hill bank just two days earlier.

The man is currently being held in the King County Jail for investigation of indecent exposure.
