ewwww...

Another update: We also heard the Harry Potter arrest was mentioned during Conan O'Brien's opening monologue last night. We embedded the video below. The Harry Potter mention starts at the 2:05 mark.

Updated Dec. 1: Congrats, Beaufort County, you're in the New York Daily News. 

The story starts with "What a jerk!" And no, they're not talking about a Palmetto State politician, but rather the man charged with exposing himself during a Harry Potter flick in Bluffton.

There's another one for the old cap. Check out the Daily News writeup here.

Reported Nov. 30: On Monday, November 29, Bluffton police were summoned to the Sea Turtle Cinemas after employees spotted a movie goer acting strangely.

Not long after, Alexander Ofner, 39, was in police custody and charged with felony indecent exposure after allegedly touching his exposed genitals while sitting in the back row watching the 1 p.m. show of "Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows."

No doubt he was just trying to ensure South Carolina gets its regular mention on the Daily Show.

Both The Island Packet and The Smoking Gun have fuller reports and mug shots.

The police statement is below.
