A Level 3 sex offender dressed in a bikini top was arrested after he allegedly exposed himself to passing joggers on a local bike path, police said today.

Arthur Meuse, 64, of 45 Grandview Ave. in Mount Vernon, was charged with public lewdness, a misdemeanor, Westchester County police spokesman Kieran O'Leary said.

He was arrested about 3:15 p.m. Wednesday by plaintclothes officers who allegedly saw him pop out of the woods and flash joggers on the Bronx River Parkway path.

Meuse is registered as a top-level sex offender in connection with a sex crime in White Plains.

According to the state sex offender registry, he was convicted in 1985 of first-degree sodomy and sentenced to four to 12 years in state prison. The site lists the victim as female, age 6 and 7. It's unclear whether this refers to one or two girls.
