MIAMI SPRINGS, Fla. — A South Florida man with a gun in his pocket had his hand elsewhere on Tuesday, according to police. Authorities said a call about the 30-year-old publicly masturbating in a Nissan Altima outside of a Miami Springs hotel led officers to discover cocaine and a second weapon.

Authorities said it all happened just before 2:30 p.m. outside of the Red Roof Plus at 3401 NW Le Jeune Road.

Miami Springs police said a woman saw Kenton Torrell Williams “watching porn on his cellphone while having his penis exposed and masturbating” while in the burgundy sedan; she told him she was going to tell the front desk.

Police said she came back 30 minutes later and saw Williams, of Miami Gardens, still at it.

According to an arrest report, she then told him “she was going to call the police on him.”

That apparently did not deter Williams, according to police.

The report states that Williams got out of his car when an officer arrived and the officer saw him “with his pants below his groin area, exposing his underwear and with a black sock wrapped around his penis.”

As the officer handcuffed him, Williams said “I have a gun in my pocket,” leading the officer to find a small pistol, according to the report.

Police said after the officer asked if there were any more guns, Williams replied, “There is a rifle in the passenger seat but everything is clean, you can look anywhere you want.”

Everything was not clean, police said. Besides the AR-15, they said the officer found “a purple Crown Royal bottle bag containing a small clear Ziploc baggie” of powder cocaine. They said they also found a scale “and packaging materials consistent with the sale of narcotics.”

“I asked (Williams) why was he masturbating inside of his vehicle, to which he responded, ‘everybody has their kinks and I was molested as a child,’” the arresting officer wrote in the report. “I then questioned (him) on the narcotics located in his vehicle to which he responded, ‘I don’t sell drugs; I’m an addict.’”

Police arrested Williams on charges of armed drug possession, possession of drug paraphernalia and indecent exposure.

As of Wednesday, he was being held in the Turner Guilford Knight Correctional Center on an $8,500 bond.
