An alert coffee barista in Cody helped catch a serial drive-thru flasher by pouring a cup of hot water in his lap.

The man, 34-year-old Andrew C. Crawford of Cody, is a repeat registered sex offender who couldn’t keep his pants zipped as he flashed workers at a pair of Rocky Mountain Mudd Hut coffee kiosks in Cody at least five times between Sept. 14 and Nov. 2.

Crawford remains in the Park County Detention Center on a $50,000 bond facing five misdemeanor charges of public indecency and a felony failure to register as a sex offender charge, according to the Park County Circuit and District courts.

Although the Cody Police Department installed video surveillance and watched the coffee kiosks, it was difficult to catch Crawford because he was a regular customer, but wouldn’t flash workers all the time, Haines said.

“He would do it, but then wouldn’t do it for two weeks, but he was an everyday customer,” he said.

On the morning of Nov. 2, one of the baristas working the Rocky Mountain Mudd Hut location on Yellowstone Avenue recognized Crawford’s vehicle in the drive-thru line, Haines said.

“She recognized the vehicle ahead of time, took the customer’s drink order,” he said. “When she turned her back to make the drink – but she had already started (video) recording when she saw the vehicle.”

The man exposed himself again, but this time the barista was ready.

“In the time it took handing him the drink and getting change is when the cup of water happened,” Haines said.

The woman threw a cup of 170-degree water through Crawford’s window and into his lap, he said.
