Novi -- An Oakland County Commissioner is facing an indecent exposure charge, accused of being naked and engaged in sex on a city sidewalk last month, police said today.

Commissioner Kim Capello, R-Novi, appeared before Novi District Judge Dennis Powers today on the charge, a misdemeanor punishable by up to 93 days in jail and fines. Capello, 56, was released pending a June 3 sentencing date. He could not be reached for comment and his attorney did not return a call from The Detroit News.

Police had little to say of the April 18 incident, other than to confirm Capello, a former Novi councilman, and the woman had both been questioned about 2 a.m. by a police officer following a complaint by a resident of "two people in stages of undress" near the rear parking lot of The Post Bar on Main Street in Novi.

"The officer responded to the complaint and wrote up a report of indecent exposure which was reviewed by our city attorney," said Novi Deputy Chief Thomas Lindberg. "Both he and the woman, who lives nearby, were released pending further investigation."
