GAMALIEL, Ky. — A Tennessee man was arrested in Monroe County Thursday after allegedly urinating in a parking lot in view of two children before being taken to the Barren County Detention Center.

Chad E. Novak, 50, was spotted between the Dollar General and a gas station in Gamaliel. A Monroe County deputy responding to the scene found Novak sitting in the driving lane between the businesses in a white truck.

When asked whether he had urinated in the parking lot, Novak reportedly acknowledged that he had. He also told the deputy he did not know where he was and had consumed between six and eight tall Busch Light beers.

According to the arrest report, Novak had reportedly argued with his wife before leaving and driving while drinking.

A breath test conducted in Tompkinsville registered a blood-alcohol concentration of .146, approximately 1.8 times Kentucky's legal limit of .08.

Another witness at the scene told police Novak had urinated in front of two children who had been at the Dollar General.

Novak was arrested and charged with first-degree indecent exposure and operating a motor vehicle under the influence. He was transported to the Barren County Detention Center.
