Man accused of exposing himself and punching mailboxes arrested at playground in Collier County

COLLIER COUNTY, Fla. —

A man was arrested Sunday evening at a playground after he was accused of exposing himself and punching mailboxes in Collier County.

According to the Collier County Sheriff's Office's arrest report, Stanley Gardy Pascal, 30, was arrested after deputies said they received reports from two callers accusing him of exposing himself, punching mailboxes and going into the playground in a neighborhood off Collier Boulevard and Greenway Road at 7 p.m.

Deputies said they recognized Pascal from previous calls where he was accused of trespassing and harassing people. When they talked to him, deputies said he had bloodshot eyes, slurred speech and was uncooperative, while he denied the accusations, according to the report.

The sheriff's office said that a mental health assessment was conducted on Pascal, but he reportedly refused the help. He was then accused of resisting deputies when they told him to place his hands behind his back, so he was pepper-sprayed twice and then arrested, the report states.

Pascal was taken in for a mental health evaluation and had a hold placed on him for criminal charges. He was reportedly aggressive towards the medical staff as well.

Pascal is facing charges of indecent exposure, disorderly intoxication and resisting an officer without violence.
