POLK COUNTY, Fla. – On Tuesday, undercover detectives from the Polk County Sheriff’s Office Vice Unit arrested two local men for lewd activity at two public county parks.
74-year-old Guy Wellington Rindge of Lakeland was arrested at Saddle Creek Park after he propositioned an undercover male detective to engage in a lewd act while exposing himself and masturbating.
Rindge was charged with Indecent Exposure (M1), Committing a Lewd Act (M2) and Offer/Agree to Commit a Lewd Act (M-2). He was released from jail after posting a $1250.00 bond.
82-year-old James Haskiell of Haines City was arrested at the Lake Fannie Boat Ramp. Haskiell propositioned the undercover male detective to engage in a lewd act while exposing himself masturbating.
Haskiell was charged with Indecent Exposure (M1), Committing a Lewd Act (M2) and Offer/Agree to Commit a Lewd Act (M-2). He is currently in the Polk County Jail and has a $1250.00 bond. He was arrested at the same location in 2004 for the same crime.
“Polk County parks are places where families and children can enjoy the outdoors – they should never have to encounter disgusting acts like these. We will continue to patrol our public parks and to arrest people who publicly engage in lewd activity,” said Polk County Sheriff Grady Judd.
