Feb. 13—WILLIAMSBURG — An Illinois man has been arrested by the Williamsburg Police Department for charges related to an incident that occurred in a public parking lot over the weekend.

Corey Bucar, 35, of Arlington Heights, Illinois, was arrested on Saturday for two counts of first-degree Sexual Abuse (one involving a victim under 12), Tampering with Physical Evidence, and Possession of Marijuana.

According to the Williamsburg Police Department, Bucar was in a parking lot when he exposed himself and masterbated in front of a minor as well as one adult.
