Man Facing Multiple Charges Following Port St. Lucie Arrest

On the morning of February 26, a 22-year-old Port St. Lucie man was arrested by city police on prowling and loitering charges. The arrest subsequently led to him also being served warrants on three alleged crimes from 2015.

Charles Reginal “CJ” Gibson was reportedly seen looking into cars in a restaurant parking lot in the 1700 block of Northwest St. Lucie West Boulevard. The man who allegedly witnessed this called police while a friend kept watch of Gibson.

Gibson was charged with prowling and loitering and taken to St. Lucie County Jail, where he was soon charged in connection with three crimes. The first involves a September 2, 2015 incident in which he’s accused of committing sexual battery on an individual age 12 or more.

The second warrant dealt with a November 16 incident in which he allegedly putting two Scandisks in his pocket without paying for them. Surveillance video and phone records were reportedly instrumental in identifying him, the latter coming as a result of Gibson dropping his phone in the store.

The third charge involved burglary for going uninvited into an acquaintance’s home on early Christmas morning and taking a package that belonged to Gibson, who was allegedly identified by fingerprints.
