A 20-year-old Central Florida deputy was arrested for exposure of his sexual organs.
The deputy was observed completely nude and then masturbating in full view of a camera.
The Polk County Sheriff’s Office arrested and charged Rodney Isaiah Williams, III, a 20-year-old deputy sheriff who resigned immediately upon his arrest, with one count unlawful exposure of sexual organs last month. Had he not resigned, he would have been terminated, the Sheriff’s office said.
The crime occurred at an apartment complex in Davenport, in an open landing area shared with multiple other apartments.
Deputies responded and interviewed Williams, who admitted to stepping outside of his apartment and masturbating “for the thrill” and then stated that he “did something stupid.”
He was off-duty at the time, according to local law enforcement.
“This vulgar and indecent behavior by one of our now former agency members is completely unacceptable, not to mention illegal,” said Sheriff Grady Judd. “We will never tolerate such immoral and illegal conduct. That is why he was promptly arrested.”
Williams was hired as a deputy sheriff in November 2023. He was booked in jail and held on $1,000 bond at the time of arrest.
