Overview
- Seventy-nine-year-old Tyrone James Causey was arrested on five indecent-exposure counts after police responded to multiple neighbor complaints on Friday.
- A responding officer says Causey answered the door wearing a G-string, put on lipstick, touched his genitals and made explicit remarks to a female officer during the encounter.
- At least five residents told police Causey regularly walked through common areas making lewd gestures and allegedly thrust at a woman’s doorbell camera, according to reports and video cited by police.
- Prosecutors initially filed the counts as felonies by citing a 1987 indecent-exposure arrest, but a Broward County judge found probable cause only for misdemeanor charges and Causey was released the same day.
- The incident follows a separate March arrest after a high-speed chase in the Florida Keys that resulted in reckless driving and speeding charges, and the reduced charges narrow but do not end potential court proceedings.
