[0:00]Officers are called to a waterpark about a male reported to be exposing his private parts with children around in the public showers as well as yelling and screaming about random things. The investigation proceeding, however, wouldn't go according to plan. It's hard to know. At first we thought he was like a family member or friend. But I mean, if it looks not right to you guys, just call us, we'll come and figure it out. So then you guys don't have to be worried about it. And you said he jumped in this thing? Yeah. He was lying in it full on with a kid. And the mom was there watching, but we finally realized he was probably, probably not right. For what it's worth, he was over there making little girls very uncomfortable. He was what? Making the little girls at the play at the water park feel very uncomfortable. Can you tell me what happened? Um, we were told that he was over here exposing himself and... I didn't see that part, but I know that all of a sudden he's calling my daughter by her first name, which means he's listening to their conversations enough. What did you see him doing? Running through the water, acting like a complete, Okay, like Turkey? I mean, like he appeared to be intoxicated or something like that? Yeah, oh yeah. Not all there. Okay. I'll talk to you over here. Hello. What did you see today? I was coming over here to go up to the stage to introduce the next act. Okay. He jumped into the kiddie pool. He was where? In the kiddie pool. In the kiddie pool. In it, totally in it. And I thought, okay, my first opinion was, it was just my opinion. I thought he was going to go to the bathroom in there. So I went over to him and asked him kindly if he could get out of the kiddie pool. And he said, "What? You want me out?" I said, "Yes." And he did get out and he didn't give me any any trouble after that. Okay. And then, ma'am? What's what's your last name? Am I allowed to decline? Um, it just helps us, right? It helps with our case. Okay. because that's not right. And the more people that we have to do like go say, "Hey, yeah, he was doing this." Okay. I am going out of town very soon so I won't be contactable. Yeah, no worries. Okay. What's your last name? And same with her, you just saw him jumping in that little kiddie pool there? Yeah. Thank you very much, I appreciate it. Have a good trip. Enjoy your vacation. Besides the kiddie pool, did you see him taking off clothing, did you see him taking off anything? I did not, but they, they had been watching him before I got here. Okay. So I would check with them. And birthday? You don't look a day over 20. Thank you so much. And my hair color does not come out of a jar. I- I can't even grow hair anymore, so you got me there. I appreciate you. But the fact that he called her Nikki, which is her nickname. Okay. And we were here yesterday, so was he? Was he here yesterday and overhearing? Right, and I don't know if he was or not. I just know that like I said today, her little radar went off and she's like, "Mom, he just called me by my name." Okay, did she stop playing and everything? Yeah, oh she immediately she they didn't want to go back over there without me. Okay. Or one of us parents being right there. And even then they were hesitant. We're going to get him out of here. Officers now have enough evidence to detain the male suspect. Two officers now approach him on their bikes right as he attempts to leave the water park. How are you, sir? I need you to have a seat. No! Okay. I should've really punched you in the mouth. I'm just gonna put him in handcuffs. Do you need to harass me? Let's put him in the grass. Yep. One resisting.
[3:28]Right now you're under arrest for disorderly conduct. You got cuffs? I got 'em. You're under arrest if you were wondering. Are you injured at all? Yes. Where are you injured at? In my f***ing left eye. Your what? Your left eye? Straighten your leg.
[3:51]I told you not to do this. You said you weren't and now you're doing it anyway. In front of kids. In front of kids too. You're the one taking showers in front of kids. No, I'm not, you f***er. I had my clothes on you piece of sh*t. F***. Roll over. Oh, you f***. Just right there. Stay right there. Do you have ID with you? Yes, I do. Where's it at? In my bag and you know it. You know it's in my backpack. No, I don't. Okay, where at in your backpack? Get it out. You do this in front of children, you f***. What's your first name, man? What's your first name? Relax your hands. I'm going to take your watch off, okay? There we go. I was gonna f***ing stay home. You f***ing b**ch, in front of these kids? You f***ing b**ch. You f***ing.

I'll f*** you up, you piece of sh*t. You can't do it, can you, p***y? You f***ing p***y. Just so you know, you're being audio and video recorded. I know I am. Okay. In front of children, you f***. Hey, uh, he is now in custody. We were just gonna have him leave and he decided to tense up on us, and then after we put him down, he was like, "I should've f***ing punched you." And he was just swearing around and stuff so. You better f***ing let me walk home. You better f***ing let me walk home. Why don't you just take a deep breath and relax? Then we can have a conversation. All I'm trying to do is have a conversation with you. That's it. Then take the handcuffs off. Oh no. Don't wanna do that. Take the handcuffs off and I'll talk to you. No, probably not. Probably not. F***ing think I can't handle it? You f***ing take me out of here and put me in jail. We're over, we're done. I have f***ing had it. Hey Kent, how we doing? Alright. We need someone to transport this guy. Okay, I'll call him. Hey, do any of you guys over there have a car to transport this guy that we just caught? Thank you. Bye. Do you want Fire to come take a look at you? No. Okay. I wanna walk home. Where is home? Right there and you know it. I don't know. I don't know who you even are. That's why I'm asking you all these questions.
[6:11]This is Officer Brennan. He's gonna take your fingerprint. Alright, I'll start with your right finger here, okay? Your right pointer finger.
[6:27]Alright, now we're gonna go to your left one. That'll work. Uh, if you just update his information right in the call for you. Yeah, please. Thank you. Are you gonna relax? I am relaxed. Okay, stand up. Stand up for me, man. We'll walk around the stage. I'll watch the bikes. You got it. Let me grab his bag.
[6:49]You're the motherf***er pushing me now. Thought you said you weren't taking me out of here. Bro, I tell you what. Oh god. Don't put me in that car. Sir, go ahead and take a seat, please. F*** you. I f***ing hate you! Thank you. Oh, this is Teddy? That's that's Teddy? No. His warrants are mine from pulling fire alarms. That's what we're saying. No. I didn't even recognize him! Yeah, I didn't even recognize the guy, he looks he looks bad. He looks really bad, yeah. Thanks, dude. Yep. Is he fighty? Uh, he immediately tensed up, said he should have punched us and we put him on the ground. Nothing. Nothing crazy. Nothing you can't handle. This incident took place on July 15, 2023 in Kent, Washington. While officers weren't able to get information that matched the initial call for service, the multiple stories about the suspect's misconduct in the kiddie pool, as well as his resistance, gave them probable cause to charge him with Public Nuisance and Obstructing a Law Enforcement Officer. The suspect, Theodore, also had a warrant for his arrest out of the Kent Police Department for Tampering with a Fire Alarm. While the legal proceedings of this case aren't available, court records indicate Theodore has a history of complications with his competency to stand trial in other incidents he's been involved in, which has possibly resulted in delaying the case or shifting it toward mental evaluation rather than immediate prosecution. Theodore is presumed innocent unless proven guilty in a court of law. Now, I had to take a second to sit with this one because nothing about it felt loud or chaotic, but it should make all of us think a little deeper. Now you're watching a situation here where the actual arrest is almost secondary because what stands out is the behavior before the cuffs even go on. The yelling and the way he's moving through a space filled with kids, like there were no boundaries at all. When someone starts ignoring basic social limits in a public space, especially around children, that's usually not a one-off moment. In my patrolling days, I learned that disorderly or escalated behavior in public spaces is often tied to impaired judgment or an inability to control your actions under stress. Now drop that kind of behavior into a place full of families. You don't need a report or a charge to feel something's off. And something else, it's subtle, but worth our attention. He's worried about being arrested in front of kids that aren't even his. Think about that for a second. Because that kind of concern usually comes from knowing how your behavior is being perceived, not just what you're doing. And that's where this changes, not just an arrest, but awareness, because places like this feel controlled until they're not. So question, when you're out with your family, are you just there or are you actually paying attention to what's happening around you?
