Blake Reign: Homeless model, 27, arrested for masturbating at Miami Beach Starbucks
A self-proclaimed homeless male model was arrested for masturbating in front of people at a Starbucks in Miami Beach, Florida, on Friday, March 11, according to reports. Blake Reign, 27, was allegedly seen pleasuring himself at the Starbucks located on 29th Street, Collins Avenue, Miami Beach at around 9:30 am.
Witness Alyssa DiMaria said she was in the coffee shop when she used her phone to record the incident. In the video, DiMaria can be heard yelling at him, "What are you [expletive] doing? Get the [expletive] out! It’s disgusting!" Reign, unbothered by the patrons looking at him, and DiMaria's yelling, continued to do the gross deed in front of an American flag inside Starbucks. DiMaria said Reign did it for about 15 minutes before officers finally arrived at the coffee shop. At that point, Reign took off running, according to the arrest report.

The arrest report also states that Reign allegedly refused to comply with cops' orders, and they shot him with a dart-firing stun gun. That's when he got to yanking again, this time pulling the darts out of his body and running off again. In the bizarre chase, police shot Reign roughly eight times, used "closed fist distraction blows" and kicked him in the lower back area before he was finally subdued. One of the officers was injured after he fell during the foot chase.
Miami Fire Rescue personnel took Reign to Mount Sinai Medical Center. He is charged with lewd and lascivious behavior, disorderly conduct in an establishment, and resisting an officer without violence. His bond has been set at $700. Records show Blake Reign was seen at the Turner Guilford Knight Correctional Center on Sunday, March 13, Local10 reported.
Meanwhile, a spokesperson for Starbucks issued a statement saying, "Once alerted to the customer’s behavior, our partners took action and local authorities were immediately called. We want our stores to be a welcoming environment. and our partners are empowered to address any behavior that doesn’t meet our third place policy."
