Police booked Trey Jacob Dulaney, 28, of Wichita, Kansas, into jail just before 4:30 Thursday morning. He serves in the U.S. Navy, according to an arrest report.

According to the Key West Police Department, police received a call from staff at Rick’s Bar, at 202 Duval St., that Dulaney was being “aggressive” and “disorderly” towards staff and patrons.

Police said officers encountered him on the 500 block of Greene Street after he was refused entry to the nearby Sloppy Joe’s Bar.

They said officers handcuffed Dulaney after he pulled his pants down and began masturbating.

The arrest report states a man inside Sloppy Joe’s told officers he was “shocked” by the act and police wrote that Dulaney’s penis was “exposed for everyone to see in the bar and the surrounding area on Duval Street.”

According to police, as officers walked him to a cruiser, Dulaney “delivered a high kick” to an officer, striking him on the shoulder.

The officer was unhurt and police took Dulaney down, authorities said.

Dulaney was taken to the Monroe County Sheriff’s Office Key West jail facility on charges of battery on a law enforcement officer, resisting arrest and exposure of sexual organs.

He had not been given a bond as of Thursday morning, according to jail records.
