Hello. >> Hello, yes, this is Officer Paniagua, West Palm Beach Police. Am I speaking to Ashley? >> You are. Hi, how are you? >> Good, how are you? Um, I see that you called us about a neighbor. Is that correct? >> Yeah, I was taking a walk and I heard some water running and I always wave at everybody, so I looked over and my neighbor was outside watering his front like driveway walkway area and I noticed he didn't have a shirt on and then I noticed he didn't have anything on and everything was completely exposed. He's about 75-ish, so I got concerned that perhaps he needed like a wellness check. Um, just to make sure that I mean, I've lived here for 8 years and I've never experienced anything like that. And so that's why I contacted you guys and then he just went to leave and so I I'm still in my driveway, so I was like, "Excuse me." And I said, you know, "I just saw you a couple of minutes ago outside watering your front yard." And he just kind of gave me this haha, yeah, look. And I said, "Well, you know, is everything okay? That's really not normal for you to be completely naked." And he was like, "It was only 12 seconds." And I said, "I don't care how long it was." And I said I I called the police to do a wellness check on you because that's that's not mentally stable to be out front completely naked. We have kids in this neighborhood." And he's like, "It was only 12 seconds." And I said, "Well, that's perverted." And he's like, "Well, that's a heavy word." And I said, "I Well, doing what you did is a heavy thing." And he was like, "Well, I have eight grandkids." And I said, "I don't care. If my daughter were out here, any other child in the neighborhood, we'd be having a completely different conversation right now." And I said it's completely inappropriate. And then he just drove off. He circled around and went back to his house. So he's there now, but he know, he just thinks that it's okay to stand outside completely naked. And I'm saying completely, like no socks, no shirts, no shoes, no problem. Like he just I mean, I've never seen anything like that. My neighbor is over My one of my other neighbors is here now cuz she's lived in the neighborhood for 30 years and has never seen anything like that. I just there are a ton of kids in this neighborhood. And he just he's just nonchalant about it. >> 97 in the area. >> Okay. And do you know this guy's name by any chance? >> Do you know his name, Susan? No, I don't know his name. >> That's what he >> I don't know if it's if you know where he ever comes past. But he just I mean, can you just stand outside naked? >> So, generally no. Um >> [laughter] >> I don't know the laws, but >> Ge- generally no. >> know the property. I don't know. >> Yeah, like for example, if like if he would have a fence around his property and he was on his property with the fence closed, then he has what's known as expectation of privacy. >> What is that? >> Um but I mean, if he's just out and about, you know, gunslinging, then yeah, that's uh >> That's what it was. He's just in the front driveway. The walkway is probably still wet. So, and he fully admitted it in front of myself and um >> Did he like Did he say oh it was an accident or he was just like or he was just reiterating the fact that it was only 12 seconds? >> He just kept doing like a cutesy winky face at me. Like it like he was proud of it. It was gross. >> Okay. >> Yeah, it was really gross. >> Is he a white male, black male, Hispanic? >> White. >> Canadian. >> Canadian. >> Yeah. He's from Canada. Well, typically Canadians are from Canada. >> [laughter] >> Sorry. Yeah, I just my daughter runs around the street on her skateboard. There's so many kids literally a Yeah, there I mean there's I mean plus I don't want to see that. I mean but I'm I can handle it. There's so many kids in the neighborhood running around and then his excuse was well I have eight grandkids and I'm like I don't care. That doesn't mean you get to go like you said gun slinging all over the neighborhood. >> Okay. And is this like the first time he's ever done this that you know of? >> That I'm aware of, yes. >> Okay. Yeah, well we'll swing by and see if he's okay. And I'll go from there. >> All right, I appreciate you. Thank you. >> No problem. Hey, how you doing? >> Good afternoon. >> Good afternoon. And I know why you're here. Okay, why am I here? >> Because it's the first time, believe you me, in my life. I was watering the plants today coming out of the pool. You want to see the pool? >> No, it's fine. >> So I was watering the plants and believe you me not more than 1 minute. I was here in the door, not even outside, watering these plants. And I was careful and this woman came by and she phoned you. >> Okay. What What were you doing? Besides watering the plants. >> Watering the plants. >> Okay. So we got a call about you being in the nude. Is that correct? >> Yes. >> Okay. So granted you can be in the nude inside of your residence all you want. However, if you are readily viewable by public eye, that is a problem. >> It's my mistake. I know. I will not do it again. Promise. If you go back this way, talk to her cuz I talked to her. I was going by, she waved at me very politely. And I told you what I'm telling you now. And I said it won't happen again. Don't worry. I have six grandchildren and three children. And I understand that. >> I got you. >> Thank you. >> How do you How do you How do you pronounce your first name? >> Aimé. >> Aimé. >> Yes. La Liberté. >> French? >> From Montreal, yes. >> Okay, Canada. >> Canada, yes, sir. My wife is American. Uh I'm still a pilot at the age 73. And I know the rules and that's It's a little mistake, but you know what? 15 seconds only. I was out. I was driving outside. >> This is This is the thing with 15 seconds. So, I get it, you know, it's it's a quick in and out kind of thing. >> Yeah. >> However, you know, the for And I'm just going to educate you real quick. Okay? In the state of Florida, even if it's 1 second, it's considered public indecency. So, I get it. 15 seconds might not be anything or might be really quick. >> Yes. >> But even that is too much in terms >> That's what I was doing. >> You know, next time wrap a towel, put Yeah, yeah. use a robe, put something on that way you're not completely, you know, uncovered. And >> know, there won't be any issues. >> Okay. >> Um granted, today it's just, "Hey, we'll talk about it." You kind of get the idea of what it is and there won't be any more. >> It's a mistake. 15 seconds only. Watering the plants again from the other side, but I do understand that. Won't happen again. Perfect. I promise. >> That is yes. Thank you. >> No problem. >> Thank you gentlemen. >> Please step out of your home and tell her what you told me and that I do understand. Okay? >> No worries. >> Thank you so much. >> All right. I'm over this conversation John. I love you. So if something were to happen again and say it's then it matters. But because I'm an adult it doesn't matter. >> No, that's not at all what I meant. >> No, no, no. Can we explain what's going on? Sorry, I'm going to cut you off but I have a question. >> Yeah, so so there's two very distinct things. So one of them is a lewdness sexual activity which would be him being naked doing a sexual pleasure act on himself in a public eye. Which that wasn't it. The second thing would be an exposure of sexual organs in a public setting. Which granted if he was walking down the street walking this way butt naked, that'd be one thing. From my understanding he was on his property. Granted I I talked to him. He said that oh, I only did it for a quick second and it was just to water my plants out right in front of my house. I was like okay, well you can't do that because if somebody you sees it, now we have an issue. >> Somebody did see it. >> Correct. You. Now, am I going to be able to charge him for it? Not right now. They would have to have multiple offenses for that one thing. Cuz if he says >> time if I took a picture of it, could you do something? >> No, the picture the picture has nothing to do with it. No, picture has nothing to do with it. Yeah, picture has nothing to do with it. Right now it's oh, I stepped What he's saying is I stepped out really quick to do this and I stepped right back in. If that's the case, I explained to him you can't do that. Put a robe on, put a towel on, put something on to cover yourself. He's like oh, my mistake. I I won't do it again. Now we have documented history that okay, he's aware of the situation and I explained to him what the charges would be. He understands everything. So if it happens again at that point, we can go ahead and put charges on it for exposure of sexual organs. >> Got you. >> Okay. >> Thank you. >> Mhm. That's the difference. >> Okay. I am I appreciate it. Is there like a ticket number or something that shows that you're an >> incident number? So I can always call back and then get an incident report, yeah. >> Yeah, I mean [snorts] it's going to be all associated to his address anyways. So, if it does come back to his address again, we can always pull it up. We have years upon years of records I could stack up on that address. So, let's say next week you call and says, "Hell, he did it again." Now now we're building Okay, now you're starting to cause an issue. >> Okay. >> That point we have to get other people involved and it's an issue. >> Okay. >> Hopefully you get hold of it together before you move. >> Just keep your pants on until the sale is final. >> I was just kidding with his asking. He's got some over 700. >> You got it now. >> I'm sure he's getting no problem. >> Probably. >> Uh it's a fully interior courtyard house. >> I don't know. In this market, who knows? >> Yeah, I know. I appreciate you guys coming out here. >> No worries. Yeah, he was he was fully clothed when I talked to him. >> Yeah, now he is. >> He was fully clothed in the car, too. >> Yeah, so again, he knows. If there's any more issues, just call us back and we'll handle it. >> I will. I appreciate it. >> Thank you, guys. >> No problem. >> Bye.
