Naked man arrested after defecating in woman’s garage

A drunken, naked Wausau man was arrested late on Monday after he entered a neighbour’s garage and defecated on the floor, according to the Wausau Police Department. Police were called at 10:30 p.m. for a report of a naked man inside a woman’s garage.

The woman told police she heard the door between her garage and home open and slam shut and her dog barking, Wausau Police Lt. Mark Pankow said. The woman then looked into the garage and saw the man, he said. Officers identified the man as Thomas O’Neil, 47, who lives nearby.



O’Neil later was apologetic to officers, and said he thought he was at his home, police said. O’Neil had a blood alcohol level 0.37 percent, or more than four times the legal limit for driving, Pankow said. O’Neil was taken to Aspirus Wausau Hospital to be evaluated because of his level of intoxication.

He then was taken to jail on charges of disorderly conduct, criminal damage to property and obstructing an officer. Officers made O’Neil sit on a plastic sheet inside a squad car, Pankow said. “This is one of those days when you can’t get paid enough,” Pankow said of the three officers who responded to the scene.
