Social Media Video Inspires Port Charlotte Flasher To Expose Himself At Numerous Stores

With the Florida Man, you never know what he'll do next and of all things, a social media video inspired a Port Charlotte Flasher to expose himself at numerous retail stores.

Now, I know it's getting super hot here in Southwest Florida, but that doesn't mean it's an excuse to bare all. Sometimes we don't know why they do it, but in this case, we do and it's not recommended.

It wasn't too long ago that a guy by the name of Pee Wee was arrested for exposing himself in Port Charlotte, and now there's another man, this time by the name of Jonhoi Francis. At first I thought it had to have been the same guy, thinking there's no way there could be 2 flashers in such a short amount of time. I don't know what's happening in Port Charlotte, but keep your eyes peeled. Or covered.

NBC2 reports 22 year-old Francis allegedly exposed his genitals are 3 different stores in Port Charlotte. The first happened at the Marshalls on Veterans Blvd. A woman told police that he was just casually walking through the store around with his genitals partially exposed. An employee also backed that story up, as did surveillance video. But once isn't enough for Francis. Later that day, he was back at it. This time at Burlington Coat Factory on Cochran Blvd doing the same thing. 3rd time's a charm though. The final incident took place a few days later at Walmart on Tamiami Trail.

His luck ran out because police were finally able to track down the Port Charlotte flasher and Francis first told police that "that happens all the time. I must not have noticed." But eventually he admitted to it saying that a Twitter video of a man doing the same thing gave him the inspiration to try it to see if he would get the same reaction.

While I don't want to find the original video and see those reactions, I'm sure they were similar. But the antics of Francis got him arrested and he is now facing charges of exposure of sexual organs.

There was a so-called soft opening over the weekend. However, the new downtown Fort Myers food truck park officially opened with a ribbon cutting and VIP party yesterday. It's called Bay Street Yard and it's a great addition to the downtown scene.

Bay Street Yard is crafted from old shipping containers creating an urban chic vibe. It's casual but still has class. It also has a good flow from the entertainment area to the seating and the food trucks. People are excited about it.

The city's first official food truck park takes up some 12,000 square feet in a former parking lot across from the Luminary Hotel and behind the parking garage.

Paradise Hospitality Group is operating the three food trucks found along the back perimeter of the park. First, Bay Street Butcher serves the meat. Think slider, burgers, and a variety of hotdogs all with gourmet toppings.

Next, Rick's Taco Cartel serves several kinds of tacos, including vegan. You can also get spicy queso, nachos and crispy corn bites that were the hit of the evening. For dessert, they have churros.

Finally, Bonzai Asian Street Cuisine serves food such as Korean fried chicken and pork belly bao buns. You'll also find sushi inspired dishes such as an Ahi Tune Crisp and a California roll that gets deep fried into a perfect little bite.

There are two full-service bars with craft cocktails, draft beer and wine. For big events there are also pop-up beverage carts to help with wait times.

The park features an impressive stage for bands and entertainment. There are LED screens perfect for big sporting events, and lawn games for the entire family. Reserve one of the three VIP spaces on the roof for a great view and some privacy. They have shade, comfortable seating and bottle service.
