Florida Inmate, 70, Assures Cops That He Knows A Golden Shower When He Gets One

A 70-year-old Florida inmate told cops that he was sure that a fellow detainee had doused him with urine because, “I have had a golden shower before from a woman and it burned my eyes,” according to a police report.

Officers responded last Sunday to the Indian River County jail after John Ryasko reported that Javerious Yearby, 23, “threw a cup of urine on him.” Ryasko said that Yearby beckoned him to leave his cell by saying, “Hey, white nigga, come here.”

Ryasko charged that as he walked toward his cell’s door, Yearby tossed the cup of urine. When a cop asked Ryasko “how he knows if the substance was urine or water,” the septuagenarian revealed his prior golden shower experience, noting, "That's how I know it's piss because it burned my eyes."

When questioned, Yearby claimed that Ryasko offered to perform a sex act upon him. “That’s all I have to say,” Yearby added.

The cell block’s video surveillance camera was broken, so the encounter was not recorded. And since a cop could not determine whether “a small amount of clear liquid substance on the cell bars and floor” was urine, no arrest was made.

Ryasko has been locked up since his October arrest for trespassing and disorderly conduct. Yearby is being held in connection with assorted felony and misdemeanor charges, including evidence tampering, leaving the scene of an accident, and marijuana possession.
