A Minnesota man has been arrested after a disturbing incident at a Naples beach. He's now facing charges of battery.

A day at the beach is supposed to be relaxing. You can forget about all your worries and stare out at the water while getting a nice tan. However, it doesn't always end up going that way. Unfortunately, other people can ruin your relaxing beach day. That's what happened here. The incident happened at 11th Avenue South Beach and the victim tells law enforcement that an unknown man approached her and touched her without consent after she asked him to stop, per FOX 4 Now. She reported to police that the suspect even gave her his phone number and said to meet him the next day. That suspect has since been identified as 44-year-old Douglas Reid Pederson. You can see his mugshot provided by the Naples Police Department below.

FOX 4 Now reports that video evidence shows Pederson being picked up shortly after the incident in a vehicle driven by his wife with their 2 children in the car. Wonder if she knew what was going on? That would be a terrible thing to find out how he was allegedly spending his beach day.

FOX 4 Now says he has a previous charge of indecent exposure in Minnesota. You don't want your beach day ruined by stuff like this. See a video report shared by Gulf Coast News on YouTube below. You can't go anywhere these days to find peace it seems like.

Cort Freeman was born and raised in Metro Detroit. He was named Clarkston High School 2009 Class Clown 13 years after graduating. Totally normal thing to happen. That’s thanks to his time spent as an Intern at Comedy Central and Social Media Correspondent for The Colbert Report. Cort has done comedy across the country, both standing up and sitting down. When he’s not trying to make you laugh on-air and online, he’s probably at home enjoying his favorite shows like Seinfeld, South Park, and The Office. He’s also totally uncomfortable writing about himself in the third person. Cort enjoys writing about comedy, food, sports, and entertainment. So, basically anything and everything.
