Man Arrested After Harassing Lynn University Coeds

Posted

BOCA RATON, Fla. (AP) — A 21-year-old man is accused of harassing coeds inside a Lynn University dormitory.

Boca Raton police say Joseph Rutkowski was arrested last week on charges of burglary with assault and battery.

The South Florida Sun Sentinel (http://bit.ly/17gjwA2 ) reports Rutkowski followed three women to their dorm on Thursday and went inside as they used their ID cards to enter.

Police say he followed them to their room. When the women slammed the door, he went to a different room. A woman inside thought he was a friend of her roommate. When Rutkowski tried to kiss her, she screamed and ran. He then went to another room and hugged another student. Someone called 911 and he was arrested.

He remained in jail Wednesday with no bond. Jail records don't list an attorney.
