YULEE, Fla., Sept. 18 (UPI) -- Police in Florida said they arrested a couple accused of using a gun to threaten a motorist who spotted them having sex behind the wheel.

The Nassau County Sheriff's Department said Suzanne Welker, 31, was "naked and could be seen clearly by everyone in the area" around 3 p.m. Sunday in a moving vehicle near the Nassau County line when she climbed into the lap of the driver, Ernest Felix Gonzales, 27, and began having sex, The (Jacksonville) Florida Times-Union reported Tuesday.

A nearby motorist, Louis Carr, 24, told deputies Gonzalez showed down when he realized people were watching and pulled his vehicle up behind Carr's pickup truck.

Carr said Gonzalez attempted to run him off the road and into a guardrail while he was on his way to his father's restaurant and bar on U.S. 17 in Yulee.

Carr said Gonzalez and Welker got out of their vehicle in the parking lot of the restaurant and Welker was holding a gun. He said she pointed the weapon at a female employee who said guns were not allowed in the eatery.

The couple left when a witness said police were being called and officers arrested the pair on charges of indecent exposure and aggravated assault at their home.
