2:38 a.m., Main Street at Lemon Avenue
Disturbance: While on routine patrol, officers witnessed what turned out to be a 50-year-old male walking across the street yelling obscenities to nobody in particular. The subject approached them, he continued to expel expletives at a high volume and, according to the incident report, was clearly under the influence of alcohol based on aroma and incoherence.
He was told numerous times to cease yelling. However he continued screaming racial epithets before walking away. As he matriculated down the street, he took a glass beer bottle from a table outside a restaurant and smashed it into the ground, directing this action toward the officers.
While being placed in a patrol vehicle, he resisted to the extent it required three officers to safely escort him into the rear seat. He was placed under the Baker Act and transported to a behavioral health facility. He was also charged on counts of disorderly conduct and resisting an officer without violence.
12:47 a.m. 1400 block of Main Street
Disturbance: An officer was dispatched to a downtown establishment because a man was causing a disturbance with other patrons. A bouncer explained to the officer that the man claimed a bag that belonged to him was absconded by someone. However, the security guard advised he did not arrive with such a vessel in tow.
A manager said he wished to have the subject removed from the bar but did not want to issue a trespassing warning.
The subject advised he was in the bar because he had recently been released from jail after five weeks and, during that time, he was evicted from his residence. As a result, he had nowhere else to go and did not wish to leave. The officer said there are other options on Main Street where he can pass the time and that he should contact SPD’s Homeless Outreach Team for further assistance. He then left the bar without further incident, free to return on another day should he so choose.
6:37 p.m., 400 Benjamin Franklin Drive
Lewd and lascivious act: A man apparently so audacious about his privates that he felt he must share it with everyone had exposed himself to several people at Lido Beach before an officer arrived at the scene. Although he didn’t witness the act himself, the complainant told the officer his family had informed him of a man who was providing an unwelcome demonstration to his family. He also stated he had witnessed the subject pacing throughout the pavilion, shower area and the boardwalk leading to the beach.
Members of the witness' family described their experience with the seaside flasher. An adult woman said as the family was gathered around a table in the pavilion she saw the subject sitting and facing the family before he switched positions to straddle the bench. He then pulled up his shorts to expose himself. She said he then picked up his phone and pointed it at his peep show and then toward the family as if to record their reaction.
Interviewing other witnesses to the act found accounts of the incident to be consistent. Photographs and video captured images of the man, which was shared with police.
While on patrol the next morning, two officers spotted the subject on the beach and he was subsequently arrested on charges of lewd or lascivious exhibition for intentionally exposing himself in the presence of a victim who is younger than 16, and unlawful exposure of sexual organs as he intended the exposure to be in a vulgar, indecent, lewd or lascivious manner.
