OPINION

KIRSCH, Judge.

Clarence Batei Townsend appeals his conviction for public indecency,1 a Class A misdemeanor, contending that the evidence was insufficient to support his conviction because, while there was circumstantial evidence that he urinated in a public place, there was neither evidence nor reasonable inference that he showed his penis while doing so. We agree and reverse Townsend's conviction.
