Man arrested for lewd behavior at Wal-Mart

February 6, 2009

Shawnee Police on Thursday arrested an Olathe man for allegedly masturbating in the toy aisle of Wal-Mart.

Police arrested the 45-year-old about 6:50 p.m. as he left Wal-Mart Supercenter at 65th and Maurer. Capt. Bill Hisle said several different Wal-Mart customers observed the man masturbating in a toy aisle, though he reportedly stopped when someone entered the aisle, starting again when the person left.

The man was booked Thursday into the Johnson County Jail on a misdemeanor charge of lewd and lascivious behavior and posted a $2,000 bond Friday.

The Dispatch generally does not name people suspected of sex crimes until a conviction is reached in the case.

Point of View

Do you do anything to celebrate St. Patrick’s Day?

“We are all Irish on St. Patrick’s Day. My family won the best in family floats in Shawnee’s St. Patrick’s Day parade a few years back. We got to have a big trophy for the year. My sons love throwing out candy on the parade route.”
