A man was arrested Wednesday after police say he was caught on surveillance video committing a lewd act inside a business on Del Prado Boulevard South in Cape Coral.
According to the Cape Coral Police Department, officers responded around 5:15 p.m. after a report of indecent exposure.
The caller said a man wearing a blue jacket, dark shorts, and black-and-white sneakers was seen exposing himself inside the store.
Police identified the suspect as Isaiah Rodney, 19. Surveillance video showed Rodney acting suspiciously in the party supply section while holding a gift bag in one hand and engaging in a lewd act with the other, according to investigators.
He was also seen walking behind several unsuspecting female customers before quickly leaving and dropping the gift bag, which prompted biohazard-level cleaning.
Store employees described the behavior as disturbing and said they wanted to press charges. The store reported approximately $150 in damaged merchandise and cleaning costs.
Rodney was later found and arrested without incident.
He faces one count of indecent exposure and one count of criminal mischief for property damage under $200. He was also issued a trespass warning prohibiting him from returning to the business.
