PHOENIX — The former city manager of Flagstaff and Buckeye has been arrested on suspicion of public sexual indecency at a Phoenix adult shop, Phoenix police said Wednesday.
Dave Wilcox, 60, and David Duran, 34, were engaged in "sexual activity" when a plainclothes officer spotted them inside a video-viewing booth on Nov. 1, police spokesman Sgt. Joel Tranter said.
An officer was conducting a routine walk-through at the shop and saw the men inside the booth. The Phoenix City Code allows only one person per booth in an adult store.
Wilcox was Flagstaff's longtime city manager before he joined Buckeye in January. He was ousted from the Buckeye job last month, but the Town Council kept him on the payroll as a consultant until Dec. 31. The council did not explain the reasons for parting with Wilcox, who lives in Buckeye.

Wilcox identified himself as a consultant for the town when he was detained, Tranter told The Arizona Republic.
Wilcox and Duran were cited and released at the scene on suspicion of public sexual indecency, a misdemeanor that carries a maximum penalty of up to six months in jail and a $2,500 fine.
It was unclear if Wilcox had a lawyer, and his phone number is not listed. Tranter said he must appear in court by next Tuesday, but a court case was not yet listed online Wednesday.
