A 40-year-old Minneapolis man was cited for disorderly conduct Thursday after an incident in a Willey Hall bathroom.
University Police officer Erik Swanson was seated in a restroom stall next to the suspect, when he noticed the man looking through two peepholes that had been drilled between the stalls.
Swanson reported that after ten minutes of this, the man exited and Swanson stopped him, saying he believed the man was “cruising for sex.”
According to Swanson’s report, the man denied the accusation, saying he “just wanted to look at something.” But after admitting the behavior was sexual in nature, the man was cited and released.
