EAST MILLCREEK BEWARE

Salt Lake Tribune -- An East Millcreek man with a history of dropping his pants and showing children a cartoon-character diaper is at it again.

Barton Jason Lewis Bagnes, 31, walked by a driveway on Tuesday where two 4-year-olds and a 6-year-old were playing, according to Salt Lake County Sheriff spokesman Lt. Don Hutson.

Bagnes asked the children if they wanted to see his diaper, then dropped his pants and showed them a toddler diaper with the Sesame Street character Elmo printed on the outside. His diaper was fastened together with duct tape or other adhesives since it did not quite fit him, Hutson said.

One of the children told his mother of the incident the following day, and she called police.

The Sheriff's Office does not plan to arrest Bagnes, and the Salt Lake County District Attorney's Office is unsure whether they'll have a case against him. Similar past cases against Bagnes have been dismissed -- usually because he does not show any genitalia or further bother the children.

"There has been no behavior on his part to suggest that he has any intention of hurting anybody or engaging in any sort of sexual behavior associated with children," Hutson said, adding that Bagnes has offered no rational explanation as to why he exposes his diaper to kids.

"It appears relatively harmless at this point," Hutson said. "Even though it certainly is shocking and of concern to law enforcement and the neighborhood in general."
