Chippewa County Man Arrested for Touching Himself in Library

Posted: Updated:

A month-long investigation helped Chippewa County deputies identify a man they say was touching himself inside a public library.

Someone spotted the man last month in the library inside Rudyard Area Schools.

Deputies say 73-year-old Lawrence Besaw of Brimley was the one acting suspiciously and inappropriately touching himself.

Police say other people were in the library at the time.

Investigators placed surveillance photos of Besaw in area libraries.

Yesterday, he showed up at a library and police arrested him.

They say he has prior similar convictions.
