Man Arrested for Exposing Himself Outside Florida Taco Bell

Deputies say the arrest followed a late-night employee call with a routine booking that yielded a live betta fish handed to the county humane society.

Overview

  • Authorities confirmed late Thursday that Brandon Irizarry, 28, was taken into custody after Taco Bell employees on State Road 100 reported a man exposing himself near a side entrance.
  • Deputies say they found Irizarry outside with multiple layers of pants pulled down and that he attempted to cover himself when officers approached.
  • Irizarry was charged with unlawful exposure of sexual organs and was held at the Sheriff Perry Hall Inmate Detention Facility on a $5,000 bond.
  • During booking deputies discovered a live betta fish swimming in a plastic container in his backpack and transferred the fish to the Flagler County Humane Society, which reported it was healthy.
  • Sheriff Rick Staly issued a public statement criticizing the conduct and used the arrest to remind residents that public indecency can result in criminal charges.
