Public Indecency Arrest In Joliet Walmart On Jefferson Street: Police

JOLIET — A 25-year-old citizen of Bolingbrook was arrested by the Joliet police for exposing his body parts to several people, including women, at the Walmart store at 2424 W. Jefferson St., according to the police report.

Tyrese Gray was later released on a notice to appear at the Will County Courthouse to answer to the crimes of public indecency, disorderly conduct and resisting a peace officer.

Joliet police spokesman Dwayne English said the squad cars were sent to the Walmart just before 2 p.m. on Friday.

The officers responded to Walmart for a report of a man in the store exposing his genitalia to customers. Upon arrival, the officers learned that a man, later identified as Gray, was seen by employees walking around the store with his genitalia exposed and masturbating in the presence of female customers, according to the Joliet police news release.

Officers located Gray on the sales floor and when they tried to place him into custody, Gray resisted the officers by attempting to break away and continued to struggle with them on the floor until he was eventually handcuffed, English said.
