Story Snapshot
- Matthew Zaccarino, 39, arrested December 14, 2025, on construction site wearing red lace bra and G-string with hidden firearm
- Gun discovered under silicone prosthetic breast insert when deputies ordered him to remove the lingerie
- Charged with armed trespassing, loitering/prowling, and resisting arrest without violence
- Claims he was heading to costume party but refused to provide details to authorities
Armed Trespasser Discovered in Bizarre Circumstances
Polk County Sheriff’s deputies discovered Matthew Zaccarino of Altamonte Springs beside his vehicle at a restricted construction site near Ernie Caldwell Boulevard and Grandview Parkway. The 39-year-old was observed putting on a red lace bra with silicone prosthetic breast inserts and a G-string. When deputies approached and ordered him to stop, Zaccarino removed the items, revealing a loaded handgun that had been concealed underneath one of the silicone inserts. He then reached into his vehicle before being handcuffed and arrested.
Suspicious Claims and Swift Legal Resolution
Zaccarino told deputies he was heading to a costume party but refused to provide any details about the supposed event or its location. This explanation raised immediate suspicions given the late hour, remote construction site location, and presence of a concealed weapon. The combination of armed trespassing on private property and evasive responses about his activities suggested potential criminal intent beyond simple costume party attendance.
The case moved quickly through the legal system. Zaccarino posted a $6,250 bond and the matter was resolved in court on December 15, 2025, just one day after his arrest. Court records confirm the case closure, though specific details about whether charges were dismissed or resolved through plea agreement remain unclear from available documentation.
Sheriff’s Colorful Commentary Goes Viral
Sheriff Grady Judd, known for his frank and often humorous press briefings during his 20-year tenure, delivered memorable commentary on the incident. “A lace bra, a G-string and a hidden gun. Folks, you cannot make this up… It was ugly,” Judd stated during his briefing. His social media video about the arrest, released in early January 2026, helped turn the incident into national news and internet meme fodder, reinforcing the “Florida Man” stereotype.
Professional Background Raises Additional Questions
The arrest carries potential professional consequences for Zaccarino, who works as a realtor in the Orlando area and serves as president of the nonprofit organization “Citizens Against Public Corruption.” His background includes advocacy work related to Pulse nightclub massacre victims, according to his social media presence and videos. The stark contrast between his professional civic involvement and the circumstances of his arrest highlights the potential reputational damage from such bizarre criminal charges.

This incident underscores concerns about construction site security during nighttime hours when properties are vulnerable to prowling and potential burglary attempts. The unique weapon concealment method and combination of suspicious behavior patterns demonstrate how criminals may attempt to disguise their intentions or identities while engaging in potentially dangerous activities on private property.
