86-Year-Old Touches Hinsdale Nursing Home Worker: Cops

HINSDALE, IL – An 86-year-old man last month told an employee at The Pearl of Hinsdale nursing home that she was pretty, and then he touched her, local police said.

Through a public records request, Patch obtained the police report. Parts of it were blacked out.

On the afternoon of May 18, the man, who is from Cicero, asked the 35-year-old employee to help him change a woman's clothes.

About 15 minutes later, the 86-year-old walked up to the employee and asked whether she had a boyfriend. He told her that the woman he was visiting was going to die soon and that he would be looking for a girlfriend, police said.

At some point, the man was said to have touched the employee, but the report gave no specifics.

Every time an officer asked the man about the touching, the man changed the subject and spoke about missing money, according to the report.

"I had the money in the room. By the time I come out, I have no more money," the man was quoted as saying.

The man was issued a local ordinance ticket charging battery.

The man left the building while an officer was explaining the court information. He then walked up to the employee to ask her about the missing money, police said.

He was escorted out of the building.
