Causey wasted no time showing police what neighbors were talking about \u2014 answering the door wearing nothing but a \u201cG-string thong\u201d and claiming he had \u201ca right to walk around naked under Florida Statute 800.001\u201d as long as he was not at a \u201cpark.\u201d<\/p>\n

Tyrone James Causey was charged with five counts of indecent exposure at his Hollywood, Fla., apartment on May 22 after neighbors called police, saying they were \u201cincreasingly concerned and frustrated with his continued behavior.\u201d Hollywood Police Dept.<\/p>\n
Hollywood Police Department Officer Savannah Hutcheson explained to Causey that \u201cto walk around in public exposing himself\u201d was illegal, but the 79-year-old insisted he was \u201callowed to and that he did not know he was being filmed,\u201d the outlet reported.<\/p>\n
Things took a stranger turn when Hutcheson said the thong-wearing senior put on lipstick in front of her, \u201cbegan touching his penis\u201d \u2014 then asked the female officer to \u201cjump rope for me, baby doll.\u201d<\/p>\n
He was then arrested and booked into Broward County jail, but was released as of May 22.<\/p>\n
At least five neighbors told police Causey had exposed himself around the building and regularly walked through common areas, making \u201clewd gestures.\u201d <\/p>\n
He was also accused of \u201cthrusting his penis\u201d at a woman\u2019s doorbell camera.<\/p>\n
The five counts were initially charged as felonies based on a prior 1987 indecent exposure arrest \u2014 making them second or subsequent offenses \u2014 following a citation issued in connection with a May 14 police call. <\/p>\n
However, a Broward County judge found probable cause only for standard misdemeanor charges, and his felony counts were reduced.<\/p>\n
Separate from his indecent exposure charges, Causey was also apprehended following a high-speed chase in the Florida Keys in March 2026, according to the Monroe County Sheriff\u2019s Office<\/a>.<\/p>\n \t\t\t\t\t\t\tStart your day with all you need to know\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/p>\n \n\t\t\t\t\t\t\tMorning Report delivers the latest news, videos, photos and more.\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/p>\n \t\t\t\t\t\tThanks for signing up!\n\t\t\t\t<\/p>\n The 79-year-old allegedly sped through a construction zone in a Toyota sedan and, when police tried to pull him over, continued driving erratically \u2014 reaching speeds over 100 mph, tailgating other motorists and \u201ccommitting other traffic violations,\u201d the department said.<\/p>\n He eventually pulled over, was arrested and charged with reckless driving and speeding.<\/p>\n Causey isn\u2019t the only neighbor accused of terrorizing their building with vulgar behavior. <\/p>\n
