PANAMA CITY — An alleged burglar who exposed his sexual organs during a home invasion has been arrested, according to Panama City Police Department arrest records.
However, 32-year-old David Earl Robinson Jr., of Panama City, did not go without a struggle, police reported.
On Jan. 22 at about 5:30 a.m., a young woman called PCPD to her West 13th Street apartment after awakening to find a man lying face down on the floor near her bed. The man had his pants and underwear pulled down, exposing his buttocks. He had apparently sneaked in through an unlocked window, she told police.
She screamed and the man, who police later identified as Robinson, jumped back through the open window. Once outside, Robinson allegedly “turned toward (the woman) and began masturbating while telling her to be quiet,” officers reported.
When the woman went to get her mother, the man fled the area on foot. However, he left fingerprints behind from opening the window and officers lifted them from the sill, police said.
An arrest warrant was obtained for Robinson’s arrest, and officers attempted to arrest him when he appeared at the Bay County Jail as part of a release agreement on a previous charge. The officers gave Robinson a chance to turn over his property to his girlfriend, but instead he turned around and attempted to take one of the officers down with a “leg sweep tackle,” officers said.
The maneuver didn’t work, though. Officers arrested Robinson and took him to the Bay County Jail. He was charged with burglary, exposure of sexual organs, battery on an officer, resisting an officer with violence and violating his release conditions on misdemeanor marijuana and paraphernalia charges.
The officer suffered “soreness and bruising” from the leg sweep attack, officers reported.
