Only in Florida can a man show his testicles to the cops to get out of being arrested for public lewdness.

Police in Port St. Lucie were dispatched to the parking lot of a CVS after a call came in about a man masturbating inside his car.

Confronting the man on his way out of the CVS, officers asked him to explain the "up and down motion in the area of his crotch" that caused attention to be brought on himself.

The man claimed he was simply scratching a jock itch as he had recently developed a rash in that region of his body.

With permission, the suspect "presented his testicles" to one of the officers so that his rash could be verified. The cop concluded that the man was telling the truth, and he was subsequently released to scratch in peace.
