Edmond, OK (WTXF) - An Oklahoma man dropped his pants in a sorority house on Sunday night after exposing himself three hours earlier in a local grocery store.

Convicted sex offender Randell Ashton, 41, was caught with his pants down by one of the sorority sisters of the Alpha Delta Pi sorority at the University of Oklahoma. Apparently he had entered through her open window and sat on the edge of her bed.

When she woke up, Ashton, surprised to see that she was not who he thought she was, left her room. She promptly locked the door and called the police, officials said.

Police arrived to find Ashton on the balcony of the sorority house and apprehended him. Once he was in custody, they identified him as the man who had, just three hour earlier, flashed unsuspecting shoppers at the local Crest supermarket.

Once he arrived at the station, police discovered that he was wearing a pair of women's underwear. It was later discovered that the underwear belonged to one of the sorority sisters.

Ashton has a history of illicit behavior including illegal distribution of a controlled substance and two prior indecent exposure charges.
