HOLMES BEACH, Fla. – Detectives arrested a man Saturday afternoon after a Publix employee says the man exposed himself in the store and urinated on the floor.
62-year-old Peter Pavljuk was arrested and charged with Indecent Exposure in Public, and Driving While License is Suspended.
According to Manatee County Sheriff’s detectives, an employee in the Publix Supermarket on Eastbay Drive in Holmes Beach saw Pavljuk expose his penis near the children’s drinking fountain. The employee says Pavljuk was holding his penis in his hand in a vulgar way and looking at the employee with a smirk on his face. He then proceeded to urinate on the floor.
Pavljuk initially told detectives that he was unable to hold his urine in and could not make it to the restroom. However, the employee told investigators that Pavljuk had been standing a few feet from a restroom and made no attempt to enter it.
Pavljuk was also found to have been driving while his license was revoked due to a DUI charge.
