Man Faces Prison Time for Displaying Genitals at Florida Casino

As of the time of this writing there is no official information as to what led to Zaina’s decision to reveal his intimate parts and provoke the casino staff

A man in Florida has been arrested after allegedly waving his genitalia in a casino’s poker room. Appearing angry, the man got into trouble with the guards and was eventually arrested.

The Man Got Angry for an Unspecified Reason

The 27-year-old was identified as Abdul Rahman Zaina, a resident of Jamaica neighborhood in Queens, New York. He was in the poker room of the Hard Rock Hotel & Casino in Hollywood when the incident allegedly happened.

Reports say that the man suddenly unbuttoned his pants and unfastened his belt before pulling his genitalia out. Instead of leaving when asked to by casino staff, the man went to the cashier’s cage and eventually got into trouble with a security guard.

Allegedly appearing angry, the man eventually provoked the guards into pushing him to the ground. Instead of giving up, the man escaped and then allegedly grabbed a bottle which he is said to have thrown at a dealer and a guard.  

Reports say that the dealer suffered minor injuries in the incident.

This left the casino staff with no choice but to call the police.

The Man Was Arrested

At approximately a quarter to 2 am on Tuesday, the local authorities were notified of the incident. The police rushed to the casino and arrested Zaina on charges of indecent exposure and battery with a deadly weapon. The New York resident was booked at Broward County Main Jail in Fort Lauderdale.

As of the time of this writing there is no official information as to what led to Zaina’s decision to reveal his intimate parts and provoke the casino staff. No official information on his condition and whether he was under the influence of alcohol at the time of the incident is available either.

The police also didn’t specify what injuries the dealer had suffered in the incident but said that Zaina hadn’t been injured at all. Authorities later examined the incident on the casino’s surveillance footage.

The case has been handed to local prosecutors but Zaina is yet to enter a plea. His bail, according to the latest available information, has been set at $8,000. If convicted, the man could spend years in prison.
