Public Works Employee Arrested for Indecent Exposure

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.
