Ottawa man named ‘Popadick’ arrested for indecent exposure
National Post ^ | April 29, 2014 | Tristin Hopper

An alleged flasher with the ill-fated name of “Popadick” was arrested Tuesday at a riverside Ottawa park.

Since April 14th, Ottawa Police had been receiving reports of a balding white male exposing himself at Mooney’s Bay Park, a Rideau River park just north of the Ottawa International Airport.

On Tuesday at around 9 a.m., police were again alerted by reports of the man exposing his genitalia to strangers along a park pathway.

Officers in the area were dispatched to the park, where they arrested Donald Popadick, 62. Charged with Indecent Act and Mischief, he is due for a Wednesday court appearance.

Fittingly, news of Thursday’s arrest was reporter on Twitter by Ottawa Police Sgt. Iain Pidcock.

The name itself probably carried some psychological damage.

Social psychologists actually have a term for it, nominative determinism. Although "determinism" is a bit too strong a word for the influence on personality a name can bring.

Yep. And Blue Ball is up near New Holland, about 15 minutes away. Know the area very well.

“Nominative” is one of those words that I’ve not only never heard of, I can’t even understand the definition of it. But I understand year meaning—if you’re called something long enough, it might begin to influence your behavior.

Reminds me of the flasher that was thinking about retiring... but decided to stick it out for another year.

The Onion, right? ;)

Afraid not. When this story broke on local news, my Son told me he thought it might be the same man who exposed himself last summer, at Hog's Back Park, about 3 miles from Mooney's Bay.
