Former Ram Stedman Bailey, 35, Arrested on Indecent Exposure Charge at Florida Mall Arcade

Q: Why did investigators specifically check if the couple's drinks were tampered with before charging them with indecent exposure?

Investigators checked for drink tampering to rule out a possible involuntary-intoxication or incapacitation explanation before treating the incident as a straightforward indecent-exposure case. Police knew Bailey and Karina Manderson had consumed multiple shots, and Manderson reportedly said she did not remember the incident. In that situation, investigators would need to consider whether either person had been drugged or otherwise impaired beyond ordinary alcohol use, which could affect how they interpreted intent, awareness, and criminal responsibility. The reporting says police found “no evidence to suggest that the drinks were tampered with.” That finding supported their view that the pair’s condition stemmed from alcohol they voluntarily consumed, not from outside interference. It also helped investigators rule out a separate crime against them, such as someone surreptitiously drugging their drinks. That mattered because the indecent-exposure charge depends on public exposure and conduct that police believed was voluntary, based on witness accounts, surveillance video, and Bailey’s reported admission that both had their pants down and that he was exposed. Once investigators found no sign of tampering, they proceeded on the theory that the conduct was not caused by covert drugging, but by the suspects’ own actions while intoxicated.

Pembroke Pines police arrested Stedman Bailey, 35, and Karina Manderson, 35, after officers said the pair had sex in front of customers at Round1 inside Pembroke Lakes Mall around 12:30 a.m. on July 27.
Surveillance footage and a witness account led to the charge: police said Bailey stood behind Manderson as she bent over, a witness reported seeing intercourse, and officers said Bailey pulled his pants up after being told to stop.
Both were charged with indecent exposure after police said they admitted taking multiple shots at the bar; Bailey told investigators both had their pants down but denied penetration occurred.
Bailey played two full seasons for the St. Louis Rams before his career ended after he was shot twice in the head while sitting in a parked car in Miami Gardens in 2015.
