A homeless man accused of exposing himself outside a shop told police: ‘I was just airing out my penis.’

William Gibson, 50, attracted attention after apparently pulling down his jeans and underwear before ‘fluffing’ his genitals.

‘He then removed his hand from his underwear (and) smelled his fingers,’ according to a police report published on TCPalm.com.

The incident is alleged to have happened outside a store on Jensen Beach Boulevard in Florida on November 5.


One witness said: ‘He jiggled his underwear in the back, as to maybe be hiding something in there.

‘Then all of a sudden he just pulled down the front of his underwear, to expose his genitals, fluffing them.’

Police failed to believe Gibson’s ‘airing out’ excuse and he was arrested on a felony charge.
