SOUTH MIAMI-DADE, FLA. (WSVN) – A Miami-Dade man was arrested Tuesday evening after exposing himself to a family with young children on a South Miami-Dade roadway, then leading deputies on a foot chase, according to an arrest report.<\/p>\n
Pedro Maldonado, 42, was arrested around 7:22 p.m. near Southwest 136th Street and the Busway, the report said.<\/p>\n
Deputies were dispatched to the area after reports of a naked man exposing himself to passing vehicles, according to the Miami-Dade Sheriff\u2019s Office. <\/p>\n
A deputy located Maldonado matching the description and attempted to make contact, but he ran, the report said. <\/p>\n
Despite repeated commands to stop, Maldonado continued running until a second deputy cut him off in a patrol vehicle, authorities said.<\/p>\n
According to the report, Maldonado ran past the second deputy before two deputies caught up to him and attempted to take him into custody. <\/p>\n
Maldonado resisted by pulling his hands away and refusing to be handcuffed before deputies were able to restrain him, the report said.<\/p>\n
A driver who called 911 told deputies Maldonado had his shorts down and was grabbing his exposed genitals as the driver passed, according to the report.<\/p>\n
Also in the vehicle were the driver\u2019s wife, his 12-year-old stepdaughter, his 8-year-old daughter and his 11-month-old daughter, all of whom authorities said corroborated the account.<\/p>\n
A records check found Maldonado had an active probation violation tied to prior charges including lewd and lascivious exhibition, indecent exposure and battery, and that he is registered as a high-risk sex offender, according to the report.<\/p>\n
He faces charges of lewd and lascivious exhibition on a child under 16, aggravated white collar crime, indecent exposure (second or subsequent offense) and disorderly conduct, jail records show.<\/p>\n
A judge found probable cause for the arrest and set bond at $25,000.<\/p>\n
