A Key West man was arrested on Sunday after he allegedly defecated on the sidewalk in front of a restaurant on Southard Street.
Edward R. Borowski, 51, was charged with indecent exposure.
Around 7:30 p.m., a Key West Police Department officer responded to Southard Street near Mr. Z’s and The Café on Southard Street after a person called and reported seeing a man defecating on the sidewalk. The officer arrived and found Borowski in a doorway between the two restaurants. When asked what he was doing, Borowski stated he had too much to drink and was planning on going home, according to the report.
The officer then met with the witness, who stated she was stopped at a red light at the intersection of Duval and Southard streets when she saw Borowski defecating on the sidewalk. The witness stated that Borowski’s genitals were exposed, and that her 9-year-old sister saw him as well, according to the report.
Based on the circumstances, Borowski was arrested and transported to the Monroe County Detention Center, where he was released the next day.
