On Tuesday, November 30, 2021, undercover detectives from the Polk County Sheriff’s Office Vice Unit arrested 69-year-old Donald Wayne Johnson of Lakeland for lewd activity at Saddle Creek Park in Lakeland.
Johnson, who was inappropriately touching himself, solicited an undercover male detective to engage in a lewd act. Johnson was issued a trespass order from all county parks for a 10-year period and arrested for Offering to Commit a Lewd Act (M2). He was released from jail after posting a $250.00 bond.
"This is completely unacceptable. Polk County parks are places where families and children go to enjoy the outdoors - they should never have to encounter disgusting acts like these. We will continue to patrol our public parks and to arrest people who publicly engage in lewd activity."- Grady Judd, Sheriff
