Man Accused of Photographing and Making Lewd Comments to Grand Rapids Women Arrested
Grand Rapids police have arrested the man accused of making lewd comments to and taking photos of women as they walked down the street.
WOOD TV8 reports that police have arrested 69-year-old Thomas Larry Chubinski on a misdemeanor stalking charge for making sexually suggestive comments to a woman as she walked with her 2-year-old.
Chubinski was the subject of blog post on Tumblr that was shared over 100,000 times. That woman took photos of him and posted them and claimed he yelled sexually suggestive comments as she walked in East Grand Rapids.
Another woman who saw the post recognized him as the man who allegedly yelled lewd comments at her as she walked on Michigan Street near Diamond Avenue last week.
I received an email from that woman last night telling her story. She claims that as she walked by Chubinski yelled, "hey girl, you've got some nice t---." The woman kept walking, and Chubinski drove slowly beside her asking her questions about her breasts. He continued for some time before stating, "those t--- are so nice I'm gonna chop 'em off!"
A few minutes later, the man drove off.
The Grand Rapids Police Department say that Chubinski has no prior record. He will be arraigned Thursday afternoon.
