Only in Florida: Teen Arrested for Masturbating With Stuffed Animal at Walmart

A Florida teen was arrested Tuesday after getting down and dirty with a stuffed animal inside of a Walmart, the Smoking Gun reports.

Sean Johnson, 19, from Lake Panasoffkee, Fla., (50-miles north of Tampa) was charged with indecent exposure in public and criminal mischief after grabbing a stuffed animal off a Walmart shelf and using the toy to masturbate.

Police say Johnson used a toy horse to pleasure himself - no word of the toy was from the "My Little Pony" franchise, which would classify the teen as a "Bronie" and not a "plushie." There's a difference, OK?

According to reports, the lewd act was caught on the store's surveillance cameras around 3 p.m. In the video, Johnson is seen putting back the horse toy after he was... done.

Johnson fled the store before Walmart security could capture him. But local police later arrested the teen.

Johnson reportedly confessed to police and was thrown into Hernando County jail. He was later released at 9:45 p.m. after posting $1,500 bond.

The Smoking Gun writes that the toy Johnson used, along with the other toys it came in contact with, were deemed contaminated and not suitable for sale.
