CENTRALIA — Tenino Mayor Eric Strawn will not face a charge of indecent exposure after he was accused of having sexual contact with a woman inside a city vehicle last week, according to an attorney for the city of Lacey.
On Monday, police responded to a report of a man and a woman inside a Tenino police vehicle near Ruddell Road in Lacey.
Officers found Strawn with a woman inside a black and white 2004 GMC Envoy, a former police vehicle in the process of being decommissioned.
Tenino Police Chief John Hutchings said Strawn asked for the keys to the vehicle Friday and said he would remove the lettering on it using a heat gun in order to save the city money.
