Peotone Man Charged With Disorderly Conduct, Criminal Damage at New Lenox Target
A 45-year-old Peotone man has been charged with disorderly conduct and criminal damage to property following an incident at a New Lenox Target store, according to police.
New Lenox police were dispatched at approximately 12:15 p.m. on Dec. 31 to the Target store located at 2370 E. Lincoln Highway for a report of criminal damage to property.
According to police reports, a store employee observed a man enter a fitting room with women’s swimwear and exit about 10 minutes later. After the man left the area, an employee checked the fitting room and found the walls and the swimwear contaminated with a bodily fluid. Police later confirmed the substance was ejaculate.
The affected swimwear was discarded and could not be resold due to contamination, police said.
Investigators identified the man as Luke Wetzel, 45, of Peotone. Police said Wetzel admitted to bringing the swimwear into the fitting room but denied depositing bodily fluid in the area.
Wetzel was taken into custody and transported to the New Lenox Police Department, where he was processed and released pending further proceedings.
