A Wednesday evening at a popular Florida Keys resort turned into a chaotic scene when a New York man was hauled off to jail following a series of disruptive and lewd outbursts. Kevin James Combs, a 50-year-old resident of Blue Point, New York, was arrested on Feb. 18 after a night of heavy drinking and erratic behavior that reportedly terrified guests and staff alike.
Monroe County Sheriff’s Office deputies were dispatched to the Oceans Edge Resort & Marina on Stock Island around 7:45 p.m. following reports of a man causing a massive scene. According to witnesses and law enforcement records, Combs was observed yelling at staff and customers near the entrance of the property. The situation escalated when he allegedly exposed himself and began urinating on the resort’s front door in plain view of patrons.
The disturbance wasn’t limited to the entryway. Witnesses told deputies that Combs also entered the resort’s restaurant area, where he smashed a beer bottle on the floor, adding a layer of physical danger to the verbal harassment.
When deputies arrived on the scene, Combs had already fled the immediate area. He was spotted a short time later on Maloney Drive, but rather than surrendering, he led officers on a brief foot chase.
Deputies were able to catch up with him and take him into custody without further incident. Records show that Combs has been officially charged with indecent exposure, disorderly conduct, and resisting an officer without violence.
He was transported to the Monroe County Jail for processing. As of Thursday morning, it was unclear if he had retained legal counsel or when his first court appearance would take place. Accordign to jail records, his bond has not been set.
