Man gets too close for comfort in check-out line
|
GRIFFITH, Ind. (STNG) -- A northwest Indiana man faces a misdemeanor battery charge after getting too close to a woman in the check-out line in front of him.
Andre Ladale Deloney, 55, of the 3600 block of Ivy Street in East Chicago allegedly ground his genital area into the buttocks of the woman standing in front of him in line Friday at Dollar Tree at 330 W. Ridge Rd. in Griffith.
The woman said she stepped forward to separate herself from the man because she assumed it was accidental, but he did it again. "If you touch me again I'll bash you in the head with my umbrella," the woman is quoted in a police report as telling Deloney.
Deloney then ran from the store past Kmart with several customers in pursuit. He told a police officer he accidentally bumped into the woman, but then mistakenly thought she "liked it and was coming on to me, so I intentionally rubbed on her the second time. I'm sorry," the police report states.
