Pensacola police arrested a man who they say exposed himself to an exotic dancer at Sammy's and got on top of her during a private dance Saturday night.

John Bonanno, 26, of Osprey, Florida, faces misdemeanor battery and indecent exposure charges stemming from the incident, which allegedly took place around 7:30 p.m. Saturday.

Management at Sammy's, on 500 E. Gregory St., told police that one of their dancers was touched unwillingly by a customer, according to Bonanno's arrest report.

The dancer told the Pensacola Police Department that Bonanno was buying everyone drinks in the main dance area before she suggested he come back to the VIP area alone for a dance.

During the dance, Bonanno allegedly pulled the woman's underwear up to expose her, and then pushed her forward onto the couch while exposing himself.

When the woman yelled for help, Bonanno stopped, according to the report.

Management at Sammy's was in possession of Bonanno's driver's license by the time police arrived, so the responding officers were able to identify Bonanno across the street from Sammy's soon after being dispatched.

Management at Sammy's also told the PPD that the dancer wanted to press charges.

Bonanno made $2,000 bail on Monday evening.
