An elderly Elmwood man was arrested yesterday afternoon for allegedly groping a 17 year old girl outside of Romantix adult entertainment store on Henderson Street.

Seventy-two-year-old Richard Carlson faces a single count of battery. A Galesburg police report says the girl was locking up her bicycle when Carlson approached the back door of the business which she was in front of. 

As he passed through the doorway, he allegedly touched the 17 year old’s left buttock, palm up. 

Carlson admitted the act to the responding police officer, but denied having his palm up. 

Police will be reviewing video evidence of the incident.
