JANUARY 30--A Texas woman unencumbered by pants was arrested yesterday for indecent exposure after she was spotted, vibrator in hand, masturbating in public, according to cops who said the suspect continued to pleasure herself while handcuffed in the rear of a police cruiser.

Austin police summoned late Tuesday afternoon to a downtown hotel found Dovie Nickels, 26, sitting alone at a patio table at a restaurant across the street from the JW Marriott Austin. Upon approaching Nickels, patrolmen observed that she “was not wearing any pants,” according to an arrest affidavit.

Cops noted that Nickels had been moving her arms “in a circular motion under the table as if she was masturbating” before they confronted her.

Seen above, Nickels was then arrested for indecent exposure and placed inside an Austin Police Department squad car. Though handcuffed, Nickels attempted to “reach...around to her vagina as if to pull something out.” A cop noted that the vibrator referred to in 911 calls had not been located, “so I believed that it was possibly still inside her vagina.”

Inside the cruiser, Nickels “began to repeatedly rub her groin back and forth on the plastic seat, moaning,” the officer reported. “Even when asked to stop, Nickels continued to do so for the duration of our encounter.”

Further police investigation determined that before Nickels decamped to the restaurant's patio, she had been masturbating inside a street-level patio at the Marriott, as first reported by the Austin American-Statesman's Roberto Villalpando.

A hotel manager recounted seeing Nickels with “her legs straight up in the air, spread open” while she repeatedly penetrated her vagina with a “silver object.” Nickels, the employee said, could be heard “making moaning noises as if she was having an orgasm.” The Marriott manager--who estimated that Nickels masturbated for seven or eight minutes--added that she “yelled at him to stay back” when he attempted to approach her.

Charged with indecent exposure, a misdemeanor, Nickels was booked into the county jail, where she is being held in lieu of $3000 bail.  According to court records, Nickels was convicted separately last year of trespass and resisting arrest. (2 pages)
