LARGO - A man was arrested Thursday after he walked into a Largo bank, took off his pants and underwear in the restroom, walked into the lobby and fell asleep naked on a couch.
Donald E. Whitney, 53, was arrested on charges of burglary and exposure of sexual organs after the incident Thursday afternoon at the Republic Bank in the Largo Mall.
According to Largo police, Whitney entered the bank about 3:15 p.m. and went to the men's restroom.
While inside, he removed his pants, underwear and socks.
He then walked out of the restroom and into the lobby, where he stood in front of a wall and exposed himself to everyone in the bank, arrest reports state.
Whitney then went into a private kitchen area and lay on a couch, where he passed out naked, police said.
When police tried to awake him, Whitney said: "This is the bar. Go away," arrest reports state.
Whitney had been held at the Pinellas County Jail in lieu of $10,500 bail until a judge ordered him released on his own recognizance Friday.
His court-appointed attorney has entered a written not guilty plea on his behalf.
Whitney, whose last known address is in Pinellas Park, also is on probation for a 2001 battery charge.
