HAZLETON - A Schuylkill County man registered on the state police Megan's Law list was arraigned Thursday on charges he exposed himself to a 4-year-old girl in Hazleton earlier this month.

Blaine Alan Arner, 53, of Tamaqua, was charged by Hazleton police with two counts each of indecent exposure and open lewdness. He was arraigned by District Judge Michael Dotzel in Wilkes-Barre Township and jailed at the Luzerne County Correctional Facility for lack of $200,000 bail.

According to the criminal complaint:

A mother of the girl reported to police on Oct. 3 that a man with white hair driving a tan pickup truck exposed himself to her daughter in front of their house on Clinton Court.

The mother said she allowed her daughter to go outside to play as they were getting ready to travel to a mall. The mother kept looking out the front window when she noticed her daughter standing three feet from a pickup truck and a man sitting in the driver's s eat.

Police said in the complaint the man got her daughter's attention and lifted his hips exposing himself. The mother ran out of the house and screamed at the man, who drove away spinning the truck's tires.

The mother yelled for her husband who followed the pickup truck in Hazleton and on Interstate 81 into Schuylkill County.

The girl's father told police the man with the white hair stopped to purchase a coffee and lost him due to a red traffic signal in Tamaqua.

Police traced the license plate of the pickup truck to Arner, the complaint says.

Through the state police Megan's Law website, police learned Arner is employed at a business on Simmons Drive in Hazleton.

Court records say Arner was charged in Schuylkill County with sexually assaulting a child in 1996 and served more than 10 years in prison. He is compelled to lifetime registration of his address, employment address and vehicle information with authorities, according to the Megan 's Law website.
