Naked Cowboy Visits Siesta Key Beach After Bike Week Arrest

SIESTA KEY, FL — Popular Times Square performer Robert Burck, better known as the Naked Cowboy, made a recent visit to Siesta Key Beach.

He shared videos of his interactions with Sarasota mounted police and beachgoers to his Facebook page.

In a post Wednesday, Burck wrote, "Siesta Key Police are the Best!!!!"

His Sarasota visit comes just days after his arrest during Daytona Beach’s Bike Week. According to court documents, the 50-year-old was arrested Saturday and faces a misdemeanor charge of resisting an officer. He was also cited for panhandling.

While playing the guitar near the intersection of Main Street and S Fern Lane in Daytona Beach, Burck was “wearing a white in color underwear and a multi-color straw-hat during this incident, which caused crowds to form a circle around him, while panhandling,” the charging affidavit said.

Police body camera footage obtained by WKMG shows Burck’s arrest. In the video, he said that he’s been coming to Bike Week for 21 years.

The footage also shows him cursing at police, calling one a homophobic slur and accusing them of breaking his guitar.
