A 39-year-old man suspected of exposing himself to celebrants at a Fourth of July festival in San Jacinto was out of custody Friday.

Nazir Akbari of Temecula was arrested and booked into the Byrd Detention Center in Murrieta Wednesday on suspicion of indecent exposure. However, Akbari posted a $2,500 bond and was released from custody within a couple of hours.

According to Riverside County sheriff’s Sgt. Benjamin Medina, about 6:30 p.m. Monday, the suspect allegedly dropped his pants and flashed his genitalia to people gathered for the Fourth of July cookout and concert at the Valley-Wide Recreation & Park District’s Regional Park on Esplanade Avenue.

The festivities preceded the fireworks spectacular that was hosted after sunset.

Medina said multiple people contacted deputies at the location and told them what had allegedly happened.

In the ensuing investigation, deputies accessed security surveillance video camera images that confirmed Akbari had exposed himself in public, Medina alleged.

The suspect was taken into custody without incident at his apartment on Moraga Road Wednesday evening.

Background information on Akbari was unavailable.
