A Westchester man is under arrest after exposing himself to a hotel employee and trying to trap her in a Long Island room.
Police say they responded to The Red Roof Inn on Dibblee Drive in East Garden City after a female employee claimed a man approached her and exposed himself.
The 33-year-old victim says she was trying to clean his hotel room when Zion Powell, of Mamaroneck, grabbed her by the wrist and tried to pull her into his bedroom.
Investigators say the woman then ran to an empty room down the hall, but Powell followed her and blocked the doorway.
He then continued to expose himself before fleeing the scene.  Police were able to locate him and take him into custody.
Powell is facing multiple charges including burglary, unlawful Imprisonment and public lewdness.
