'Baby Oil Flasher' Arrested Again

POSTED: 9:24 am CDT June 17, 2008
UPDATED: 11:47 am CDT June 18, 2008

Police said a man who has a record of slathering himself in baby oil and flashing people has done it again.

On Monday morning, police got a call about a man exposing himself in front of a day care near East 63rd Street and Paseo Boulevard. The caller said the man was covered in baby oil.

The caller said the man was parked in a Ford Bronco in front of the school. He said the man got out, flashed her and then drove away.

Police stopped a car matching the suspect vehicle a few blocks away.

They said the man inside was Larry D. Booker, 53, the same man they had arrested six months earlier after a similar incident.

The officer described him as "wearing a white robe, no shirt and black sweat pants" with "baby oil all over his hands, arms and body."

It's almost the same way police described a similar incident outside a Kansas City church day care in January when Booker was accused of flashing several people.

Three years ago, Booker was accused of the same thing outside a gas station in Lenexa, Kan., that time covered head to toe in corn oil.

Teemon Hardwick, the preschool director at the scene of Monday's alleged exposure, said, "Apparently his bond is not high enough. He does not need to be on the streets."

Police said Booker has never exposed himself to children, but Hardwick was worried about what could come next.

"He is sick. There is something wrong with him. And his behavior could escalate," she said.

Booker was in custody Tuesday for failing to appear at a May court date stemming from the Jackson County, Mo., charge filed against him after the January incident.

Wednesday, Jackson County prosecutors amended their original charge against him to charge him with two counts of second-degree sexual misconduct.
