Polite Nude Man Startles Woman

A man who entered a stranger's Olcott Avenue apartment completely naked may have been drunk or high, according to a witness.

A man walked into a Tinley Park apartment entirely undressed on July 3 and startled a woman, according to police.

The 20-year-old New Lenox woman sitting on the living room couch yelled at the man, who appeared to be under the influence of drugs or alcohol, and demanded to know what he was doing in the apartment, a Tinley Park police report states.

According to the witness, the man uttered, "Oh, I am sorry," and left a few seconds later. Both the woman and the apartment owner, who was in the bedroom when the nude interloper stopped by, heard a door slam shut in the hallway. They tried knocking on nearby apartment doors in the building, located in the 15900 block of Olcott Avenue, but no one answered.

Police also checked the neighboring apartment, according to the report.

The suspect is described as a white man in his 20s with light brown, shaggy hair, between 5-feet, 6-inches and 5-feet, 9-inches tall and 160-180 pounds.

No arrest was reported. The woman told police she was unsure if she wanted to sign a complaint.
