A nude art exhibit. A nude resort. A public park beside an elementary school.
The last of those was the setting described in a police account of a Florida man’s naked morning walk. His explanation involved the other two.
Carlos Luis Miller-Orraca, 43, was arrested by St. Petersburg police on October 13, 2026, after an officer responded to a report of a naked man at Campbell Park.
The call came at 7:37 a.m., FOX 13 reported, citing a police spokesperson. The officer arrived and found Miller-Orraca walking through the park completely nude.
Artistic Differences
Asked about the situation, Miller-Orraca first said he was participating in a nude art exhibit. He then said he believed he was at a nude resort, the spokesperson’s account continued.
That put two decidedly clothing-optional explanations into an encounter at a city park next to Campbell Park Elementary School. Police arrested him on a charge of exposure of sexual organs and barred him from returning to the park.
WFLA reported, citing an arrest document, that school staff were looking over the fence while he was exposed. Whether children were present has not been established in the reporting available for this article.
Location Matters
Florida law does recognize that some places are meant for people to be naked. Its exposure statute expressly exempts an individual who is merely naked somewhere provided or set apart for that purpose.
The same statute prohibits exposing sexual organs in public in a vulgar or indecent manner, as well as being naked in public in a vulgar or indecent manner. Miller-Orraca’s booking record lists a first-offense charge under the provision concerning exposure of sexual organs.
A first violation is a first-degree misdemeanor. Florida’s sentencing statute allows up to one year in jail for that misdemeanor classification.
The Booking Desk
The Pinellas County Sheriff’s Office booking record lists Miller-Orraca’s booking time as 9:18 a.m. on October 13, following his arrest that morning.
The record supplied on October 15 lists him in custody with a $500 bond still due and the charge awaiting trial.
All parties are presumed innocent unless and until proven guilty in a court of law.
