Woman exposed herself at two street patios in downtown Austin, police say

Austin police arrested a semi-nude woman who was pleasuring herself at two street-level patios Tuesday afternoon on Congress Avenue in downtown Austin, court documents said....

Officers said she continued to masturbate even after she was handcuffed and placed in the back seat of a patrol vehicle. Police went across the street to investigate the original complaint and learned from a JW Marriott employee that Nickels had been spotted at the hotel building’s street-level patio earlier that day, the affidavit said.

The employee told police that he saw her “holding a silver object” to her genitals “with her legs straight up in the air, spread open” and that he “could hear Nickels making moaning noises,” according to the affidavit. He told police she yelled at him to get back when he tried to approach her. The employee said she was masturbating on the patio “for approximately 7 or 8 minutes” before heading to the Second Bar across the street.
