Police have been receiving information regarding lewd and suspicious activity taking place at the Roger’s Pond and York Street rest areas in Kennebunk, which led them to conduct the undercover operation.
Smail is scheduled to appear in Biddeford District Court on Oct. 9.
Police made a similar arrest two weeks ago during an undercover operation at a York Street rest area.
Dean Bushey, 67, of Ogunquit, was charged on Aug. 1 with unlawful sexual contact after he too was accused of grabbing an undercover officer through his clothing.
