A 69-year-old Villager who was once arrested while dressed as a turkey has been jailed after allegedly exposing herself to law enforcement.
Lake County sheriff’s deputies were called at about 1 p.m. Monday to a home in the 1000 block of Aloha Way on the Historic Side of The Villages when Irene Leonhard, also a resident of the Historic Side, refused to leave a man’s home, according to an arrest report. When deputies arrived, Leonhard hurled a bottle at them and then pulled up her denim house dress and exposed herself.
The male homeowner agreed to sign a trespass order banning her from his property.
“Leonhard began screaming and cussing that she didn’t have to leave,” the deputy wrote in the arrest report.
Leonhard told deputies she was not leaving and planned to return to the residence. She was advised she would be jailed if she returned to the man’s residence.
She then told the deputies to “take her to jail,” the report said.
She was booked at the Lake County Jail on a charge of trespassing. She was released after posting $500 bond.
Leonhard previously has spent time behind bars. Leonhard was dressed as a turkey when she was arrested in 2017 after she went to Belk at La Plaza Grande in The Villages and attempted to steal $1,497 worth of merchandise.
