A 48-year-old man parked his car in the front row facing the courthouse midday Thursday, pulled down his shorts in front of a Pasco County Sheriff's Office detective and began masturbating, according to a report.
When arrested on a charge of indecent exposure in public, the man Richard M. Garcia of San Antonio proclaimed his innocence and said he was just applying hemorrhoid cream to himself, authorities said.
"Upon looking at the bottle the defendant was holding, it was not hemorrhoid cream, but K-Y Warming Jelly," the report states.
Garcia was released later that day from the Pasco County jail on $150 bail.
