Man commits sex act with stuffed animal at Brooksville Wal-Mart, police say

BROOKSVILLE — A 19-year-old man is accused of committing a sex act with a stuffed toy horse while shopping at Wal-Mart on Tuesday, police said.

Sean Johnson, of 4602 County Road 302, Lake Panasoffkee, acted suspiciously “by constantly looking around” after entering the store at 7305 Broad Street, loss prevention workers told Brooksville police.

Workers saw Johnson remove the toy from a shelf and take it to the bedding department, police said. When Johnson returned the toy to the shelf, it was “contaminated” and could not be sold, police said.

The incident was caught on the store’s security cameras, police said.

Johnson was charged with indecent exposure in public and criminal mischief. He was being held at the Hernando County jail on Tuesday with bail at $1,500.
