Man Accused of Lewd Behavior in Burger King Play Area in North LauderdaleSource: Broward Sheriff’s Office

A distressing incident transpired at a Burger King play area in North Lauderdale where, according to the Broward Sheriff's Office, a man was seen exposed and engaging in lewd conduct in front of children. Local 10 News reported that around 5:30 p.m. Tuesday, Dwyarrn Burton, described as a homeless 32-year-old, was masturbating at a window of the fast-food restaurant's play section while three children were present inside.

Broward prosecutors withheld detailed descriptions of the incident in the arrest report but noted Burton’s previous encounters with law enforcement. According to Local 10, in Massachusetts, he faced charges of "indecent assault/battery" after an incident at a Boston train station. He was later detained by state troopers for a similar assault on a bike path, according to ABC affiliate WCVB.

Subsequent to the event, North Lauderdale authorities arrested Burton, levying multiple charges against him. Broward Top Felons detailed Burton's arrest information, including two counts with the designation EXPOSURE OF SEXUAL ORGANS - 1ST OFFENSE under the statute 800.03-1a(1). He faces additional charges which include three counts of lewd and lascivious exhibition in front of a child under 16, tallying his bond at a steep $320,000 as he resides in the custody of BSO Main Jail.
