Police arrest alleged flasher

Shantae Cammack

Framingham -

Police arrested a New York woman they say repeatedly exposed her naked buttocks out of the back of her van Tuesday, flashing drivers, as well as a mother and her two young children.

Shantae M. Cammack, 29, denied mooning people, but her pants were around her knees and she was wearing no underwear when questioned by Officer William Fuer, according to police spokesman Lt. Paul Shastany.

"The officer asked her, 'What are you doing,' and she said, 'I'm just sitting here, minding my own business,' " the lieutenant said. "The officer told her they had four witnesses, and her pants weren't even on when he opened the van's door."

Around 6 p.m., a woman was walking near Dom's Variety Store on Waverley Street with her two children, both younger than 10, when a woman, later identified as Cammack, opened the rear of a parked van, bent over and flashed her naked behind at the trio, Shastany said.

The woman immediately called police.

"When asked if she thought it was on purpose, (the victim) said it was clear, and she was shocked and alarmed," Shastany said.

The officers walked to the van and as they approached Cammack closed the rear door. Police knocked, and she opened it up for them, but she was sitting alone, nearly nude in the van, Shastany said.

While she was was talking to police, another man walked up to the police. He said he watched from a nearby gas station as Cammack repeatedly exposed her buttocks to passing vehicles.

Cammack, of 145 Third Ave., New York City, was charged with open and gross lewdness and disorderly conduct. Police have no idea why Cammack was showing her buttocks.

"It's unusual," Shastany said.

Cammack pleaded not guilty at her Framingham District Court arraignment yesterday. A judge set bail at $250, but Cammack could not make it, so she will be held at MCI-Framingham. She is due back in court June 12 for a pretrial conference.
