Five men were arrested Friday in DeLand on charges that they exposed themselves in public to an undercover deputy, authorities said.

The sting was set up in response to reports of men openly engaging in lewd activity near the multipurpose trail and adjacent wooded areas of Lake Beresford Park.

Sheriff’s spokesman Gary Davidson said, “it didn’t take long for the men to approach an undercover deputy and strike up a conversation.”

Each of the men exposed themselves to plain-clothes officers. Two of the men asked the deputy to expose himself as well, and one “hugged the deputy before exposing himself, kissed the deputy on the side of the neck and then squeezed his butt,” Davidson said.

The men arrested in the sting have been identified as:
