FORT PIERCE, Fla. (CBS12) — The St. Lucie County Sheriff’s Office is again warning visitors about alleged inappropriate activity at DJ Wilcox Preserve in Fort Pierce.

In a social media post Monday, the agency said it had received reports of inappropriate behavior at the preserve and reminded people that detectives know the area and arrests are public record.

“Apparently, we need to talk about D.J. Wilcox Preserve again,” the sheriff’s office wrote.

The post did not identify any new suspects or announce a new arrest. Instead, it served as a warning that the agency could again enforce laws at the preserve.

“Please don’t make us turn you into content,” the sheriff’s office wrote, adding, “Enjoy the preserve. Do not become the wildlife.”

The warning follows a series of arrests CBS12 previously reported at the preserve near Old Dixie Highway in November 2025.

The sheriff’s office said then that undercover detectives went to the preserve following complaints of lewd and lascivious activity. Two elderly men were arrested and charged with exposure of sexual organs after deputies said they allegedly exposed themselves or propositioned an undercover detective.

A follow-up operation the next day led to the arrest an 83-year-old Port St. Lucie man on the same charge, according to the sheriff’s office.

DJ Wilcox Preserve is a public nature preserve in St. Lucie County.
