In two cases, Roby allegedly asked for directions before exposing himself.<\/p>\n<p class=\"mb-4 text-lg md:leading-8 break-words\">Officers reportedly conducted a traffic stop on Roby while he was leaving Riverview Park on Sunday, after his vehicle matched the description of one involved in the indecent exposure incidents.<\/p>\n<p class=\"mb-4 text-lg md:leading-8 break-words\">Police say Roby also matched victims\u2019 descriptions of the suspect.<\/p>\n<p class=\"mb-4 text-lg md:leading-8 break-words\">During the stop, police say they found an open jar of lubricating oil inside Roby\u2019s vehicle.<\/p>\n<p class=\"mb-4 text-lg md:leading-8 break-words\">Investigators note that Roby is a registered sex offender out of Texas.<\/p>\n<p class=\"mb-4 text-lg md:leading-8 break-words\">Roby was released, and his car was towed because he did not have a valid license, records say.<\/p>\n<p class=\"mb-4 text-lg md:leading-8 break-words\">On Tuesday, police showed four victims an array of photos, including one of Roby. Three of the four identified Roby as the suspect, and a warrant was requested for his arrest.<\/p>\n<p class=\"mb-4 text-lg md:leading-8 break-words\">Court records show Roby is in police custody awaiting arraignment.<\/p>\n<p class=\"mb-4 text-lg md:leading-8 break-words\">Download the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.wpxi.com\/mobile-apps\/\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\" data-ylk=\"slk:FREE WPXI News app;elm:context_link;itc:0;sec:content-canvas\" data-yga=\"{&quot;yLinkElement&quot;:&quot;context_link&quot;,&quot;yModuleName&quot;:&quot;content-canvas&quot;,&quot;yLinkText&quot;:&quot;FREE WPXI News app&quot;}\" class=\"link \">FREE WPXI News app<\/a> for breaking news alerts.<\/p>\n<p class=\"mb-4 text-lg md:leading-8 break-words\">Follow Channel 11 News on <a href=\"https:\/\/www.facebook.com\/wpxi\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\" data-ylk=\"slk:Facebook;elm:context_link;itc:0;sec:content-canvas\" data-yga=\"{&quot;yLinkElement&quot;:&quot;context_link&quot;,&quot;yModuleName&quot;:&quot;content-canvas&quot;,&quot;yLinkText&quot;:&quot;Facebook&quot;}\" class=\"link \">Facebook<\/a> and <a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/WPXI\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\" data-ylk=\"slk:Twitter;elm:context_link;itc:0;sec:content-canvas\" data-yga=\"{&quot;yLinkElement&quot;:&quot;context_link&quot;,&quot;yModuleName&quot;:&quot;content-canvas&quot;,&quot;yLinkText&quot;:&quot;Twitter&quot;}\" class=\"link \">Twitter<\/a>. | <a href=\"https:\/\/www.wpxi.com\/video\/\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\" data-ylk=\"slk:Watch WPXI NOW;elm:context_link;itc:0;sec:content-canvas\" data-yga=\"{&quot;yLinkElement&quot;:&quot;context_link&quot;,&quot;yModuleName&quot;:&quot;content-canvas&quot;,&quot;yLinkText&quot;:&quot;Watch WPXI NOW&quot;}\" class=\"link \">Watch WPXI NOW<\/a><\/p>\n<p><script async src=\"https:\/\/platform.twitter.com\/widgets.js\" charset=\"utf-8\"><\/script><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Police have arrested a man they say exposed himself to women at a park in Pittsburgh.
