A southeast Michigan woman has been arrested for having sex on a picnic table at a popular family beach Sunday, and the man believed to be her partner also faces charges, Battle Creek police said.

The woman, 51, from Saline, was taken to the Calhoun County jail, where she was held pending arraignment on charges of gross indecency, the Battle Creek Enquirer reports. The male suspect, 36, of Traverse City, denied being involved when questioned by police.

A 40-year-old Battle Creek woman told police her mother, 60, and daughter, 12, got an eyeful as they drove through Willard Beach Park about 4:30 p.m. Sunday. They saw the woman performing a sex act as she knelt before a man sitting on the table. The man was partially exposed when they finished, according to the report.

The Saline woman fled on foot when police arrived, hid briefly on a docked pontoon boat that didn’t belong to her, and apparently hid under it for a time. Police arrested her when she climbed back into the boat.

She told police she fled because she was wanted on an Ann Arbor arrest warrant.
