closeRALEIGH -- Barry S. Hawley was supposed to be watching the chickens.
Instead, police say, Hawley, 36, was caught this morning sitting in his car, watching porn outside the poultry tent of the N.C. State Fair.
Police charged Hawley, of 9207 Keswick Wood Court, with one count of indecent exposure just after 7 a.m., Jim Sughrue, a Raleigh police spokesman said.

A woman who saw Hawley inside the car watching the movie notified an off-duty police officer working overnight on the fairgrounds, Sughrue said.
Hawley was transported to the Wake County jail and released after posting bond, a Wake magistrate said today.
State Fair officials fired Hawley after his arrest.
"The act definitely deviated from his job responsibilities," Brian Long, a fair spokesman said.
