GG Allin (Jesus Christ Allin, born Lance Kevin Allin) and Donald Sachs (known as "Dino Sex") were arrested in Orlando, Florida, on November 18, 1991, following a performance by GG Allin and the Murder Junkies at the Club Space Fish Café on Church Street. According to reports, Allin performed nude, and both he and Sachs engaged in acts including defecating and urinating on stage, consuming feces and urine, and throwing both at the audience. These actions led to their arrest by Orlando police on charges of exposing their sexual organs, a misdemeanor. A videotape of the performance was seized by police, and the chaotic scene drew significant attention, with about 75 audience members fleeing the club.

They were released from Orange County Jail within 24 hours without bail, as was standard for minor crimes due to jail overcrowding. However, both failed to appear for their arraignment in Orange County Court in December 1991, leading to new arrest warrants being issued. Due to the misdemeanor nature of the charges and their out-of-state residence (New York City), the sheriff’s office did not actively pursue them, and extradition was unlikely. The incident also prompted the Florida Division of Alcoholic Beverages and Tobacco to seek revocation of the club’s liquor license.

Additionally, the publicity from this Orlando arrest contributed to Allin’s later troubles. He was extradited to Michigan for violating probation related to a 1989 assault charge, as noted in a related incident in Austin, Texas, in February 1992.
