The CEO of a Texas Planned Parenthood branch was arrested Monday afternoon after he exposed his genitals at a Lubbock, Texas baseball field.
KCBD-Texas, an affiliate of CBS News, reported that Ray Thornton agreed to take a leave of absence from his position at the Planned Parenthood Association of Lubbock one day after he posted a $750 bail on the charge of indecent exposure. As of this writing it is not clear how long Thornton will be absent from his position, but the organization quickly announced a replacement: Tara Haskell, who previously served as the organization's Director of Finance.
Thornton expressed deep regret for causing distraction from the organization's goals in a statement released to KCBD-Texas. "I will work with my attorney through the appropriate court process to correct any misinformation and take responsibility for errors," he continued.
