An admitted child molester is again facing charges of attempting to obtain and drink boys' urine.
Alan D. Patton, 56, of 6269 Emberwood Rd. on the Northwest Side, was trying to collect urine in a men's restroom at Sports Ohio, 6314 Cosgray Rd., when he was arrested June 14, Dublin police say.
Patton was found in a men's restroom where he had allegedly covered toilet seats in plastic wrap, shut off water to urinals and placed Styrofoam cups in them. Sports Ohio employees told police that they recognized Patton as the man who had tampered with another men's restroom there a week earlier.
Patton, a registered sex offender, admitted in 1994 to sexually assaulting four boys ages 7 and 9 in public restrooms in Columbus. At the time, Patton's attorney said Patton suffers from urophilia, an interest in urine for sexual gratification.
When he was arrested two weeks ago, Patton said "he wasn't hurting anyone and that he suffers from an 'illness,' " a police report said. "He said he tries to control his urges but he can't."
He admitted to police that he posted "out of service" signs and tampered with the toilets and urinals to collect boys' urine to drink. Police charged him with criminal mischief.
Patton threatened to commit suicide and told police he needed to care for his 84-year-old mother, the report said. He was taken to Franklin County jail and later posted bond. He is due in court July 11.
Patton served four years of the eight-year term he was sentenced to in 1994. In 1990, 1992, 2003 and twice in 2006, he was convicted of offenses including voyeurism, public indecency and disorderly conduct in Columbus, Westerville and Gahanna.
In 2006, he was arrested at a Gahanna movie theater after a similar incident. Six months later, he violated terms of his probation by entering a restroom at the Hard Road branch library. His probation was extended for five years.
