DAVENPORT, Fla. – A former Polk County deputy is accused of exposing himself Saturday, the Polk County Sheriff's Office said.

Investigators said 20-year-old Rodney Isaiah Williams III, who was hired in November 2023, was caught on camera naked and inappropriately.

According to the sheriff's office, Williams resigned immediately after his arrest.

Deputies said Williams admitted to leaving his Davenport apartment complex while off duty.

Polk County deputies said he claimed he was in it “for the thrill” and “did something stupid.”

“This vulgar and lewd behavior by one of our now former agency employees is completely unacceptable, not to mention illegal,” said Sheriff Grady Judd. “We will never tolerate such immoral and illegal behavior. That’s why he was immediately arrested.”

Williams was booked into jail Sunday on a $1,000 bond.
