Strolling in the Nude

A man was spotted strolling in the nude through a Palos Hills apartment complex on March 16, police reports said. Employees were cleaning the common areas of Scenic Tree apartments around 11 a.m. when a man not wearing any clothes walked to the area where they were cleaning. Employees told police the man didn’t say a word. The man apparently went back into a unit.

These incidents were listed among the official reports of the Palos Hills Police Department. Readers are reminded that an arrest by the police does not constitute a finding of guilt. Only a court of law can determine whether an offender is guilty or not guilty of the offense with which he or she has been charged.
