Man exposed himself at children’s lemonade stand, deputies say

TAMPA — Deputies are searching for a man who exposed himself to children at a Brandon lemonade stand.

The children, a girl and a boy, set up a lemonade stand on their front porch near Tradewinds Drive and Ketch Place in Brandon at 4 p.m. June 13. The suspect drove up in a large sport utility vehicle, paid a dollar for lemonade and then opened the driver’s door of the vehicle and began masturbating, investigators say.

The children ran and told adults what had happened.

Deputies are looking for a thin man approximately 20 years old with a tattoo on his upper left arm, black hair and brown eyes. He wore blue jean shorts and a white tank top. He drove an older-model dark blue SUV, perhaps a Yukon, Tahoe or an Escalade with a cherry-shaped air freshener hanging from the rearview mirror.

The vehicle may have a partial tag of 70738.

Anyone with information can contact the Sheriff’s Office at (813) 247-8200 or Crime Stoppers at 1-800-873-8477.
