According to the Broward Sheriff’s Office, the incident happened just before 5:30 p.m. Tuesday at the chain’s location at 1267 S. State Road 7.
Deputies said Dwyarrn Burton, a 32-year-old homeless man, was “openly masturbating” at a window in view of the restaurant’s play area. They said three children were inside.
Broward prosecutors redacted all further information about the incident in the report, citing in part “active criminal investigation information.”
It does state that deputies discovered that Burton had previously been arrested in Massachusetts on a charge of “indecent assault/battery,” but the outcome of that case wasn’t known.
Transit police officers arrested him at a Boston train station on Aug. 4, 2019 after they said he “indecently assaulted” a woman getting off a subway car.
Just two months later, ABC affiliate WCVB reported that Massachusetts state troopers arrested Burton after accusing him of assaulting a woman on a Boston bike path.
It’s not clear when he moved to South Florida.
Records show that Burton, who is facing three counts of lewd and lascivious exhibition in front of a child under 16 and two counts of indecent exposure, was being held in the BSO Main Jail on a $320,000 bond.
