A retired 25-year pastor of First Christian Church (Disciples of Christ) in Casper was arrested near Crossroads Park on Sunday evening and charged with public indecency, distributing obscene literature and incitement to a crime after an undercover sting operation by the Casper Police Department.
The Rev. Bryant Badger, 75, also previously served as an adjunct professor for Casper College.
Authorities say Badger left multiple obscene notes in a portable restroom at Morad Park.
Graphic propositions
The notes included graphic propositions to the reader and what police say is Badger’s phone number. According to a police affidavit, the notes were discovered and reported Sunday morning by a Natrona County High School cross country coach concerned for the safety of student-athletes training at the park.
