Man accused of urinating on waitress from night-club balcony

A Florida man allegedly urinated on a waitress from a night-club balcony early on Saturday morning. According to police, Orion Breese Jones, 20, committed the dirty deed at the Crows Nest, one of eight bars in the Rick's and Durty Harry's nightclub in Key West, which bills itself as the island’s largest bar complex.



A Key West Police Department police officer was flagged down at 2:20am by a bar worker due to a man “who was urinating on a female staff member from the balcony above.” When officers first confronted Jones, he was fighting with club security in the street. Jones subsequently fled from police after he was released by security, but was eventually handcuffed after twice being tasered by officers.

Waitress Tia Cruz, 26, told police that she was talking with a customer when she “began feeling something wet on her body.” Cruz initially thought it was raining, police noted, until a fellow employee “pointed out Jones and said he is peeing on you,” according to a police report. Jones was then chased through the bar by bouncers, who pinned him to the ground until police arrived.



He was subsequently charged with disorderly intoxication and resisting arrest. Jones has two marijuana possession convictions, as well as arrests for burglary and trespassing. Free on bond, Jones, a Key West resident, is scheduled for a February 2 arraignment on the misdemeanor counts. In his report, Officer Curtiss Richardson noted that, “In speaking with Jones, Jones expressed his desire to seek help for his alcohol problem.”
