Man Allegedly Behaving Badly Outside of Hooters

A 28-year-old Wauwatosa man with a history of lewd and lascivious behavior was allegedly at it again outside Greenfield’s on March 13.

What exactly it was depends on whom you ask.

According to the report, officers received a call from a Hooters employee at 10:30 p.m. to report a male wearing a black sweater, black jacket and a hat making inappropriate gestures outside of the business while looking into the restaurant’s main windows.

The employee spotted the suspect while watching the parking lot for suspicious behavior and once outside, he saw the suspect with his hand near the front of his pants. The employee said he did not see the suspect’s genitalia but it did appear he was masturbating.

When the suspect saw the employee, he left on foot toward West Layton Avenue and ran across the parking lot.

The suspect later returned and left in his car, which had been parked in the Hooters lot. The Hooters employee got the license plate and Greenfield police traced it to the suspect, formerly of Greenfield, who was cited for prowling for a in July.

The next day, Greenfield police located the suspect at his home in Wauwatosa and arrested him for lewd and lascivious conduct, but on Friday, March 16, the District’s Attorney’s office decided against processing the complaint because no victim saw the suspect’s genitalia.

According to the police report, the department has had several contacts with the suspect for similar situations.
