EVERETT, Wash. (AP) - A 20-year-old Snohomish man accused of baring himself to baristas in the Monroe area and Lake Stevens told police he was happy officers finally caught up with him.

Court documents show the man said he was addicted to fondling himself at drive-through espresso stands.

The suspected flasher has been charged in Snohomish County Superior Court in Everett with three counts of indecent exposure. He has no previous criminal convictions.

At least seven baristas reported that the man exposed himself as he drove up to their stands beginning in February.

The weekly drive-by flashings came to an end on May 23 after the man hit two different espresso stands in Monroe.

A police officer saw the man driving off from the second coffee bar and stopped him.

The man said he enjoyed showing off for the baristas.

Idaho law allows state agencies to divert some state income tax refunds to pay legal obligations like court fees, child support, and sheriff's garnishments. Taxpayers whose refunds have been diverted have no legal recourse. What do you think of the law?

  • Times are tight. If the state needs the money, this approach is better than budget cuts, tax hikes, etc.
  • I'm entitled to the refund, and the state can just take it? Unfair and ridiculous.
  • Not sure.
