Toronto Blue Jays catcher Reese McGuire was arrested last week for allegedly masturbating to a hardcore porn video while seated in his car outside of a Dollar Tree in Florida, it was revealed Wednesday.

A witness called police in Dunedin, Florida on Friday to report that McGuire, 24, was 'sitting and masturbating in a white Mercedes SUV in the parking lot,' according to an incident report provided to the Daily Mail. The team trains in Dunedin.

McGuire was charged with misdemeanor exposure of sexual organs.

'The vehicle had perfectly clear tint and was occupied by a tall white male subject,' read the officer's report. 'As I approached the vehicle... I could clearly observe the male subject was naked from the waist down.

'The subject's shirt tail was barely covering his genitals and his sweatpants were around his ankles. The subject, later identified by his Washington Driver's License as Reese Jackson McGuire, saw the Sheriff's Deputies approaching his vehicle and was hastily trying to pull his pants back up.'

McGuire, 24, was arrested last Friday for allegedly exposing himself while he was in an SUV in the parking lot of a strip mall in Dunedin, Florida

McGuire was immediately apologetic and did not attempt to deny anything, police said.

There is police video and audio from the incident, but a department spokesman told the Daily Mail that it cannot be released until the discovery portion of the court proceeding.

'Reese was instructed to make himself decent and then exit the vehicle,' the report continued.

'As Reese exited the driver's side door, he repeatedly stated, "I'm sorry, I'm so sorry, this is really embarrassing."

'I asked Reese why his pants were down and he replied, "I really shouldn't have been doing that."

'Reese was still struggling to get his sweatpants on correctly and I could observe he currently had an erection which was very apparent. I detained Reese in handcuffs and placed him in the rear of my cruiser with the air conditioning on and the COBAN systems activated.'

The arrest took place on Friday afternoon, prompting police to ask McGuire why he chose to masturbate in such a public place during the day.

'I directly asked Reese why he chose to masturbate in a visible area with people around,' the report read. 'Reese stated he "wasn't trying to be seen". I pointed out that he was in a vehicle with no tint, and parked in the busiest portion of the parking lot, surrounded by cars on all sides and masturbating at 2 PM on a Friday afternoon. Reese acknowledged that he should have known people would see him.'

The complainant claimed that as she exited her vehicle, she could 'clearly see the driver of the Mercedes had his pants fully down and was stroking his penis.'

The police also asked McGuire how he came to be parked in that particular strip mall.

McGuire, who said he is staying nearby, did not have a clear answer.

'After lunch Reese stated he came to the parking lot and began "hanging out,"' the report said. 'I asked Reese why he came to this parking lot in particular. Reese stated he did not know, it just seemed like a good place. I pointed out the high foot traffic and vehicles in and around the entire parking lot and Reese acknowledged this.'

Police discovered the pornographic video when McGuire unlocked his phone to give officers the address at which he is staying during spring training.

The Blue Jays acknowledged the arrest in a statement.

'The Blue Jays are aware of the recent police incident involving catcher Reese McGuire,' a team statement read. 'He has been in communication with the club and we are working to gather more information. Out of respect for the legal process, neither he nor the club will comment any further at this time.'

Reese is due back in court on March 16.

McGuire was selected No. 14 overall in the 2013 MLB Draft by the Pittsburgh Pirates and was traded to the Blue Jays in 2016. He made his MLB debut on September 6, 2018.

Since then, McGuire has appeared in 44 games, hitting .297 with seven home runs and 15 RBIs.
