WOODBURY MN — A 30-year-old man has been charged with gross misdemeanor indecent exposure and misdemeanor disorderly conduct after allegedly lying naked along a Woodbury roadway near two juveniles and later telling police he was "clothed in the righteousness" of the Lord, according to a criminal complaint filed in Washington County District Court.
Brian David Long is accused of exposing himself near Woodbury Drive and Antrim Road on November 11, 2026, prompting a police response after a passing motorist reported seeing a naked man lying along the roadway.
According to the criminal complaint, Woodbury police Officer Koehler responded to the area at approximately 4:41 p.m. after dispatchers received a report of a naked man lying beside the road while juveniles were nearby riding scooters.
When the officer arrived, Long was reportedly clothed and walking southbound along the west side of Woodbury Drive.
The officer observed two juvenile males on the east side of the roadway attempting to get his attention. The juveniles pointed toward Long and told the officer that they had previously seen him lying completely naked on the east side of the road near his clothing.
According to the complaint, both juveniles reported seeing Long's exposed private parts.
The juveniles also told a responding sergeant that Long had put his clothing back on and crossed Woodbury Drive shortly before the officer located him.
Both juveniles reported feeling frightened by the incident and indicated that they did not want to be involved in what they had witnessed, according to court documents.
Investigators also spoke with the woman who initially called 911.
The woman reported that she had been driving southbound on Woodbury Drive when she observed Long lying on his back, completely naked, along the east side of the roadway.
She also reported seeing two juvenile males riding scooters near Long and looking toward him.
When Officer Koehler approached Long and stopped him, Long reportedly made a religious statement, telling the officer that he was "clothed in the righteousness" of the Lord.
Long was subsequently arrested and transported to the Washington County Jail.
Prosecutors charged Long with one count of gross misdemeanor indecent exposure involving the presence of a minor under the age of 16, under Minnesota Statute 617.23, subdivision 2(1).
The charge carries a maximum penalty of 364 days in jail, a $3,000 fine, or both.
Long also faces one misdemeanor count of disorderly conduct under Minnesota Statute 609.72, subdivision 1(3), which carries a maximum penalty of 90 days in jail, a $1,000 fine, or both.
The allegations contained in the criminal complaint have not been proven in court. Long is presumed innocent unless and until proven guilty.
