Grabby Grandson Who Groped Orland Rehab Worker Jailed in Joliet: Police

The Orland Park man was charged with disorderly conduct, according to jail records.

An Orland Park man arrested after he allegedly groped a woman at a physical rehabilitation center was jailed in Joliet.

Miguel Ochoa, 29, was locked up Sunday night on a charge of disorderly conduct. Jail records show he was arrested by the Will County Sheriff’s Department. Everyone from Sheriff Mike Kelley’s department may have been taking the Monday holiday off, as no one could be reached for comment on the circumstances surrounding Ochoa’s arrest.

Ochoa recently ran into trouble with the law for allegedly trespassing at Orland Park’s Alden Estates rehab center. He was supposedly at Alden Estates to see his grandma but instead took a special interest in a young woman working there and grabbed her near the buttocks in a bid to win her affections, police said.

Before that, police said, Ochoa had been ordered to stay away from Alden Estates because he had been accused of stealing a cell phone.

A few months earlier, Ochoa allegedly dumped a cup of water on a manager at the Orland Park Buffalo Wild Wings. Ochoa was upset because the “food made him sick and he was forced to vomit outside the establishment,” police said, and the manager refused to comp him free food on a to-go order days afterward.
