A San Francisco man was busted after allegedly exposing himself while watching children outside a Northern California library — then made a shocking request to cops after his arrest.

The disturbing incident unfolded June 23 outside the Vacaville Cultural Center Library on Ulatis Drive, where a concerned community member called police after spotting a man allegedly exposing himself while watching children play nearby, according to the Vacaville Police Department.

The suspect, a 32-year-old Marcus Hardimon, was taken into custody after officers responded to the scene. Police said he later bizarrely asked officers to lock him up.
