A 55-year-old man was arrested Tuesday for allegedly masturbating inside the Walmart on U.S. 90 in Milton.

A witness told the Santa Rosa County Sheriff's Office that John Wesley Booker, a resident of Wing, Alabama, was acting suspiciously in the men's department at the Walmart Supercenter at 4965 U.S. 90.

Upon closer observation, the witness told the SRSO that he noticed Booker was masturbating.

The witness said he saw Booker ejaculate on the floor and wipe it up with a clothing item, which Booker then discarded on a nearby shelf, according to his arrest report.

After being arrested and while en route to the jail, Booker told deputies he was "sorry for all of this," the report stated.

Booker was charged with misdemeanor counts of indecent exposure and disturbing the peace and his bond was set at $1,500.

He was released from jail late Wednesday evening.
