The officer ultimately spotted Lewis walking from the curtilage of Winn-Dixie and into the Bank of America parking lot. He immediately recognized Lewis from multiple prior encounters. He had already been trespassed from Winn-Dixie on Feb. 21, and the warning was still active, the report said.

The report noted this was the third interaction Lewis had with law enforcement that day. In all instances, he had his pants pulled below his butt. He did not have on underwear during any interaction, causing his bare butt to be exposed to multiple people.

Lewis was arrested on charge of trespassing occupied structure. He was booked at Lake County Jail with bond set at $20,000.

The New York native was also arrested in March for shoplifting headsets from Publix.
