Man Exposed Self Through Car Sunroof: Cops

FHP trooper on way to 9/11 ceremony spots car flasher in Keys

A man was arrested in Plantation Key after he exposed himself through a car's sunroof Sunday, authorities said.
 
According to the Monroe County Sheriff's Office, an off-duty Florida Highway Patrol trooper spotted the man exposing himself while he was traveling with his wife and young child en route to a 9/11 ceremony Sunday morning near the 90.5 mile marker on U.S. 1.
 
Police later identified the man as 31-year-old Julio Socarras Mompeller, from Miami. Witnesses claim Mompeller was making motions with his hands while exposing himself. The vehicle he was traveling in allegedly ran a red light at Sunshine Boulevard and U.S. 1.
 
Deputies who responded to the area spotted a silver Mercedes-Benz and pulled over the vehicle. Mompeller was in the passenger seat with no shirt on. The FHP trooper identified Mompeller as the man who he'd seen expose himself, police said.   
 
Police say as the deputies questioned the three people in the car, Mompeller spontaneously said they did not run the red light while the other two in the car admitted Mompeller did expose himself, but they said they didn't know why he did it.
 
Mompeller was arrested and charged with indecent exposure. It was unknown whether he has an attorney.
