That's when the complainant said Matthews walked away and appeared to pull his pants down, bent over and grabbed his buttocks.
The police report noted that Matthews' kept his underwear on during the incident.
Matthews was not arrested but his case has been forwarded to the city’s Prosecutor’s Office for review.
