Palm Bay, Florida - Real Estate broker Wilson "Wink" Lewis was arrested and booked into County Jail yesterday on charges of indecent exposure, police said. 

Lewis, 69, broker for Sun, Sand & Sea Realty, Inc. since 1974 was placed under citizen's arrest after a professional home stager previewed one of his listings in the southwest section of Palm Bay.  

Police approached a home at 3:20 pm that matched the home stager's description and found Lewis in the dining area telling the owners how nice their display of family photos looked.  He was also heard advising them to just leave the photos up. 

According to detective Buddy Graham, lead investigator for the case, "We were shocked that someone who represents himself as a knowledgeable professional would allow home sellers to do such a thing.  This family photo exposure was absolutely indecent.  I'm ashamed for the community." 

The home stager later identified Lewis as the listing broker and said she's seen him doing similar things on three other occasions, Graham said. "One of the listings I previewed was so full of clutter that it gave me angina pains.  I was tempted to call the police then but had to go to the emergency room instead." 

Mr. Lewis was unavailable for comment.
