On April 9, a 40-year-old man from Vero Beach, Florida visited a local Arby’s restaurant. While he was there, he allegedly began masturbating out in the open.
The police were notified, and when deputies from the Indian River County Sheriff’s Office arrived at the eatery, the man was still there. The deputies spoke with him about the complaint, but he was not detained. He reportedly stopped touching himself and left the premises.
A while after the first reported incident, the same man reportedly went to a Wawa convenience store and, again, began to sexually pleasure himself in the view of the public.
When the authorities learned about the situation, the same deputies that saw him at Arby’s encountered him at Wawa. They questioned him, but he was not arrested, and they allowed him to leave.
According to reports, the man then visited a Roadway convenience store without his clothes on. Someone allegedly saw him yelling at a woman on the roadside, and they decided to call the police.
When the authorities arrived, they learned that it was believed the naked man had been masturbating in public a third time.
It was reported that the man told the police that he had no choice but to masturbate because he “was having issues with his rectum” and ejaculation helps control the pain.
The suspect was placed under arrest and booked into the Indian River County Jail. He is expected to face charges of misdemeanor exposure of sexual organs. The man’s bond was set at $50,000.
