Text: 50. On July 19, 2009 Davis and his seven-year old son spent an afternoon at Lums Pond. 51. Davis consumed alcohol while at Lums Pond. 52. At the end of the afternoon Davis's son objected to changing from his bathing suit into dry clothing in the public bathroom. 53. Davis and his son changed in the parking lot. 54. While Davis and his son were changing, a couple and a child (Witnesses) walking through the parking lot observed Davis naked from the waist down. 55. One of the Witnesses argued with Davis about the impropriety of Davis exposing his fiancee's daughter to Davis with his pants down. 56. A park patrol officer overheard the argument and radioed an enforcement officer from the Department of Natural Resources and Environmental Control (DNREC), Division of Parks and Recreation. 57. After separately interviewing Davis and each of the Witnesses, the DNREC enforcement officer issued Davis a Complaint and Summons. That document charged Davis with two violations titled Conduct Violation and Alcohol Violation, respectively. [74] The Conduct Violation was for indecent exposure and the alcohol violation was for having a blood alcohol level of .16, twice the legal limit. [75] 58. Davis reported this incident on his Restatement Questionnaire as Conduct Violation and Alcohol Violation and attached a copy of the Complaint and Summons as an exhibit to the Restatement Questionnaire. [76] The Complaint and Summons submitted to the ODC reflects an X in the box next to Voluntary Assessment and is signed by Davis. The description of Voluntary Assessment reflects that checking this box indicates the undersigned's desire to plead guilty to the stated charge(s). [77]
