Panty-Stealing Stalker Nabbed at Tinley Park Gas Station: Cops

TINLEY PARK, IL — A panty-stealing stalker harassed his ex-girlfriend for more than a week before he was arrested at a Tinley Park gas station, police said.

Martynas Sadzevicius, 22, was locked up in the Will County jail on a felony stalking charge the day after Valentine’s Day.

Sadzevicius’ former girlfriend called the cops on him after he allegedly followed her from a Dunkin’ Donuts in Mokena to the Tinley Park police station to a Speedway Station on 80th Avenue.

The ex-girlfriend was in the company of another man at the time.

The ex, her 27-year-old new male companion and Sadzevicius were all still at the Speedway station when an officer arrived, police said.

Sadzevicius reportedly explained to the officer that he merely “saw (his former girlfriend) and tried to get her attention and only wanted to talk to her so he followed her hoping she would stop and talk to him.”

Then, after Sadzevicius was placed in handcuffs, “three pairs of women’s panties were located in (his) coat pocket,” police said. “While they were removed (he) advised that the undergarments belonged to (his former girlfriend) and he carries them with him because he misses (her) and they dated for three years.”

Sadzevicius’ former girlfriend told the cops that in “the last year or so their relationship has been strained and the (she) was concerned because of (Sadzevicius’) use and sale of cannabis and cocaine,” according to police.

The former girlfriend, a Frankfort resident, “tried to distance herself from (Sadzevicius) but (he) was overbearing and always begging them to stay together,” police said.

Sadzevicius allegedly “told her if she started to date other people he knows people that could take care of things like that” and he “then made a gun noise and snickered at her.”

According to the ex-girlfriend, Sadzevicius “has friends that are members of the Ambrose street gang and (she) believes that he could get someone to intimidate or harm her,” police said.

The ex-girlfriend went on to tell the cops about Sadzevicius’ alleged harassment over the previous nine days. He started by stealing $130 so he could buy pot, police said. She then fled to the home of a friend in Orland Park with whom she sometimes stays, but Sadzevicius reportedly followed her there and tried to convince her to let him inside.

Sadzevicius called his ex repeatedly until she blocked his number, police said, then showed up at her house on Valentine’s Day. She reportedly would not let him in and told him through the closed door to go away.

Soon after, the ex-girlfriend’s mother called to her that a delivery of flowers had arrived. When she came downstairs, police said, she saw that it was actually Sadzevicius with his hat pulled low over his eyebrows and a bouquet in front of his face. She “yelled at her mom, stating, ‘That’s Martynas.’” And then told him to go away.

After Sadzevicius was in custody, an officer “showed the (ex-girlfriend) the panties recovered from the (his) coat and asked her if she had ever seen them before, police said. She “stated they were hers. (She) further stated that she believed the (Sadzevicius) may have been taking her undergarments as they would come up missing from her house.”
