An arrest has been made -

Ypsilanti police say they caught the naked man who stole children's books from the Ypsilanti District Library last week.

The man is jailed, and police are seeking charges of indecent exposure, larceny from a building, and felony resisting and obstructing.

Police said the man, who is on parole, was identified today.

He is accused of entering the library branch on Michigan Avenue last Thursday and asking an employee for help selecting children's books. The employee told police she returned to her desk, and the man stepped out from behind a bookcase naked.

The man "thrust his hips in the direction" of the woman, but didn't make any other movements toward her, the release said. He fled as she called police.

Officers went to the suspect's home today, but he wasn't there, so they left a business card, the release said. The man showed up at the Ypsilanti Police Department at about 3 p.m.

But when he was asked to step into the back of the station from the lobby, the man bolted, the release said. Officers gave chase and caught him in the 400 block of Ferris Street.

The man was questioned and was then transported to the jail to await arraignment, police said.

Police officials did not have additional details this evening, including how the man was identified or his previous conviction.
