Todd Reed

An alleged trespasser was caught with his pants down after momentarily getting stuck in a revolving door at Westinghouse Electric Company in Cranberry Township.

Todd A. Reed, 40, of Butler was arraigned Sunday on felony and other charges stemming from the incident last year. He is free on $10,000 bail.

Cranberry Township police said they were called to Westinghouse corporate headquarters about 5:40 a.m. Sept. 26, 2019, for a report of shirtless man dressed in blue jeans in the unlocked vestibule area.

An employee later entered the vestibule at which time the defendant's pants fell below his buttocks, exposing himself, police said.

The employee used her key fob to gain access to the secured revolving door that leads to the lobby, as Reed hoisted up his pants and ran into the door behind the woman.

The door, however, locked once the employee got into the lobby, police said.

“It was obvious Reed was waiting (for) someone to use the secured door in order to try to gain entry,” according to charging documents, “and Reed temporarily became stuck inside the secured, revolving door.”

But he eventually managed to squeeze out of the door, police said, and fled.

Later that morning, state police found Reed after authorities received reports of a nude man walking along Interstate 79.

Cranberry Township police eventually filed charges and got an arrest warrant for him March 26.

Police cited the general course of the investigation, when asked why it took so long to file charges. They said they also did not know where the defendant was living at the time.

Butler police arrested Reed on the warrant about 11:35 a.m. Sunday on the 500 block of Negley Avenue in the city's Island neighborhood.

District Judge Lewis Stoughton arraigned the defendant on two felony counts of trespass and a misdemeanor charge of indecent exposure.

A bail condition that Stoughton imposed required Reed to undergo a mental health evaluation. Online court records did not list an attorney for him, and he could not be reached for comment.
