Sugarcreek Twp. Sgt. Mark White said two juvenile girls took a photo of Stickel as he was exposing himself to them inside the restaurant earlier in the week.
Police had been on the lookout for the suspect when Stickel went into Panera on Saturday. White said he was at it again, looking for potential victims.
White said Stickel got spooked and left the store but was arrested later at his home.
White praised the girls for their quick actions to record the incident.
"Without that cell phone photo, it would be their word against his word," White said. "It exposed him in the act."
Stickel was released from jail and is scheduled to appear in court next month.
