Investigators said nine men were arrested Thursday night in a Sears department store men's room located in the Volusia Mall. "These men would go into the men's room and they would tap their feet, zip their zipper, make all kinds of noises and even reach under the stall," Daytona Beach Police Chief Mike Chitwood said.

"The undercover officer told me he actually tried to come under the stall, where he was actually looking up at the undercover officer while he was performing his act," Chitwood said. A 70-year-old man was also arrested during the 10-hour sex sting, police said.
"The bothering thing is that you are coming up on the Christmas season, so you are out there shopping in the mall and your kid wants to run to the bathroom, you have a bunch of sick, degenerate, vile perverts in there doing their thing," Chitwood said. Officers said the sting was prompted by tips from mall security.
"Of course, everybody denies, (and says) 'It wasn't us,'" Chitwood said. "We certainly didn't go there and entice anybody, and we didn't put an ad out."
This looks like the mall just across the street from Daytona Speedway.
Just to give you a point of reference.
I hope the department offers psych counseling to the surveillance officer. Ten hours waiting in a stinky stall waiting for homos to hit on you can rattle your emotional state.
Not always. A few years ago, I was shopping for clothes when a young woman came up to me and started a conversation. After talking for a few minutes, she asked if I wanted to see her twins. Expecting a picture of twin children, I said yes. She lifted her shirt and showed me her...twins.
I just laughed and told her she’d have better luck getting a reaction if she did it to a man.
If you or anyone else would like to send a kind note to Chief Chitwood, or an open letter to Daytona's Finest, you may do so here:

Biography: Michael J. Chitwood
On May 30, 2006, Michael J. Chitwood was sworn in as Chief of Police of the Daytona Beach Police Department. He had previously served for a one year time period as Chief of Police of Shawnee, Oklahoma, Police Department. He went there after serving for 17 years with the Philadelphia Police Department which consists of over 7,000 sworn members and is the fifth largest police department in the nation. During his career with the Philadelphia Police Department, he worked in patrol, tactical, narcotics and detective divisions. He was officially cited 58 times by the Philadelphia Police Department and received commendations for merit, heroism, bravery and the highest award – Valor. When he left the department to assume command of the Shawnee Police Department, he had attained the rank of Lieutenant. As Lieutenant, he commanded in the Special Investigations Unit and the Homicide Divisions.
Michael Chitwood received his Bachelors Degree in management from Eastern University in Pennsylvania and is a graduate of the FBINA class of 2004. He is also a graduate of Northwestern University’s School of Staff and Command.
While serving as Chief of Police of Shawnee, he launched many innovative programs. A bicycle patrol was formed to improve community relations, increase officer visibility, and reduce crime. A Police Foundation was formed to help the department advance in the area of technology. With the foundation’s help, the department increased training and purchased state of the art AFIS and Polygraph systems. The COMPSAT process was introduced as its crime fighting and crime reduction strategy.
I thought that name sounded familiar:
Chitwood came to Daytona Beach via Oklahoma, but he comes from Philadelphia, where he and his cop father share the city's best-known name in law enforcement. Chitwood has a good reputation.
They sure are giving tap dancing a bad name.
They were born with a homosexual head gene.
I am? I don't think so. In fact I am so disgusted with all this bathroom stuff I hope nobody even puts there foot near my side of the stall. I might stomp on it. However as a woman I feel safer then you men. You itch your nose & it could be you, Don W going off to jail. I guess you best stick to picking it.
How'd that quote go "As it was in the days before Noah ......"?
“Rub your nose the “wrong” way because it’s itchy and THAT will become a “signal”
Do you have a point you are trying to make?
OMG!....too funny....
How'd that quote go "As it was in the days before Noah ......"?
You're quite right, and the more seasoned psychologists will privately agree...it's common knowledge that the American Psychological Association removed homosexuality from it's list of mental disorders entirely for political reasons....there was no scientific research to prompt or justify that change.
And medical professionals in all disciplines have to deal with the universally-negative fallout of homosexuality every single day.
They will go anywhere where there is any slight chance of people, and preferably children, will be disrobing and vulnerable.
It's terrifying to note that many 'parents' send their children off to the mall for the day and expect it to be their babysitter.
What on earth is wrong with people? I am glad you could laugh. I hope I would be able to. But if my young daughter was with me I don't know what I would have done. Maybe knocked her in the "twins" with my pocketbook. I can just see Sassy saying mommy why did that person show you her boobs... I am now trying to think of a good answer in case it ever happens to me. lmao.
They don’t seem to be a selective bunch.
All true.
It's utterly disgusting, and as with most bad things in society we can thank the Left for their brazenness. The perverts are fully aware that homosexuals have a special set of rights and they exercise those "rights" to the fullest extent.
Just to give you a point of reference.
That's good to know, thank you.
Hopefully NASCAR fans and particularly parents will be very careful when going off-site....I would imagine that such disgusting behavior as this would never occur within the race facility, as the perp would likely be beaten to death before the police even got near.
I hope the department offers psych counseling to the surveillance officer. Ten hours waiting in a stinky stall waiting for homos to hit on you can rattle your emotional state.
Agreed...what a disgusting assignment for the officer. We can all be thankful that there are people who will deal with such revolting things so that the rest of us can be safe.

Wonderful to hear that the people of Florida are being kept safe by such a stellar Chief and Department. Thanks very much for your research!
I got my psychology degree in ‘71 before the cave-in to political correctness. We actually studied it. But I never used it because being a sounding board for people has always just been something that I’ve been able to do. Getting paid for it just doesn’t seem right to me.
