A Key West woman was arrested early Friday morning after she allegedly urinated on the doormat at the entrance of a Duval Street bar.
Mindi Lee Mercer Smotherman, 31, was charged with disorderly conduct.
Around 3:10 a.m., Key West Police Department officers responded to the 801 Bourbon Street Pub on Duval Street after receiving a report of a female causing a disturbance. Officers met with the security guard at the bar, and he explained that Smotherman had entered the bar with a friend and subsequently began to “harass and annoy” customers, according to the report. However, when she was asked to leave, Smotherman reportedly stopped at the front doormat, pulled down her pants and urinated on it in front of the customers.
The security guard added that Smotherman’s genitals were visible and that customers were “horrified,” leading him to detain her and call the police.
Officers asked Smotherman’s friend to leave and then arrested Smotherman on disorderly conduct charges. According to the report, Smotherman seemed to be highly intoxicated, and she was “unable to comprehend the situation.”
She was booked into the Monroe County Detention Center, where she was being held without bond.
