Leesburg, FL - A 56-year-old Florida man was arrested on Sunday for exposing his genitals to a driver during a road rage incident.
According to Leesburg police, deputies responded to a road rage and indecent exposure call around 3:09 p.m. on Sunday.
The victim reported that while driving north on U.S. 27, they slowed down due to heavy rain.
A silver Kia Optima then swerved around the driver at a high rate of speed and cut in front of them.
The victim stated that the Kia's driver, identified as James Box, began driving aggressively, attempting to prevent them from passing by stopping abruptly.
Box allegedly continued to speed up, throw objects at the victim’s vehicle, and scream at them.
The arrest affidavit states that the victim pulled over near Plantation Boulevard and U.S. 27 to record Box’s license plate and vehicle information.
At that point, Box stopped and exited his vehicle, charged toward the victim’s car, pulled down his shorts to his knees, grabbed his genitals with both hands, and began shaking them towards the victims.
The victims screamed and looked away in fear.
The incident occurred on a busy highway during peak traffic hours, with multiple vehicles passing by.
The victims were able to provide deputies with photos of Box's license plate and images of him charging toward their vehicle.
When deputies arrived at the home where the Kia was registered, they found Box wearing the same outfit described and shown in the victims' photos.
Box denied involvement in the incident, claiming the deputies were mistaken.
Based on the victims' statements and the provided evidence, Box was arrested and charged with exposure of sexual organs.
