A Palm Beach public works employee was reportedly arrested on a misdemeanor indecent exposure charge after an incident at a residential property, according to an arrest report.
The allegation stemmed from an encounter that took place around 9:30 a.m. on April 17. A housekeeper told the authorities she went into a side yard and saw a sanitation worker collecting trash. She said she asked him to wait while she gathered more items to discard. When she returned a short time later, she reportedly saw the man exposed and looking in her direction.
According to the report, the woman acted as if she was on the phone and moved into the garage, closing the door behind her. She later provided video footage to investigators that allegedly showed the worker leaving the property and walking back to his department vehicle before driving away. The footage was reviewed as part of the investigation.
Investigators said the worker was assigned to that area at the time, and his supervisor reportedly confirmed no other employee would have been servicing that location. When questioned, the man initially denied exposing himself, including for any reason. However, after being told there were surveillance cameras nearby, he allegedly stated he “may” have exposed himself to urinate, according to the report.
The authorities took the 31-year-old man into custody later that same day. Jail records showed he was released the following day after posting a $2,000 bond.
Records indicated the employee had been hired by the town in 2023. Court filings showed he later entered a not guilty plea in the case. He was represented by a public defender’s office, which reportedly does not comment on open cases.
