Eleven men are facing charges after they were arrested for lewd acts at an adult bookstore in Cocoa Beach.
The investigation began after complaints of illegal and lewd acts at the Surf's Up Adult Store, on West Columbia Lane.
Brevard County deputies arrested Charles Tarantola, Michael Keefer and Timothy Harris on July 30. All three were charged with exposure of sexual organs. One was also charged with an unnatural and lascivious act.
The Sheriff’s Office capped its investigation Tuesday by arresting eight more men – John Datz, Lawrence Scott, Charles Norwood, Charles Radford, Timothy Tidmore, Jerry Putteet, William Ford and Hugh Pugh. All were charged with exposure of sexual organs.
Tidmore, 51, of Cocoa was also charged with escape, resisting with violence and battery on a law enforcement officer. He’s being held in the Brevard County Jail without bond.
Bond for the seven others were set at either $500 or $1,000.
Only one of those arrested is from out of state - Delaware.
The Sheriff’s Office was called in to assist the Cocoa Beach Police Department with the investigation.
