Neighbours say thong incident is no laughing matter

Madeira police said they've arrested a backyard exhibitionist who was wearing practically nothing, and neighbours say it's no laughing matter. Police said they were called to a Juler Avenue home late Wednesday after the homeowners said they saw their neighbour, Brian Luedeker, 37, in their back yard.

The homeowners said Luedeker was masturbating while wearing only a black thong. He was peering into a bedroom. And he was spotted by a teenager when a dog wouldn't stop barking. A lot of folks in Madeira said what happened on Wednesday night was comical, but neighbours aren't laughing.



"I do not find it amusing. I do not find it funny at all," said Holly Abner, a neighbour. "You should be able to get the answers to the questions that you need and not have it be the next joke of the day." Luedeker was arrested and charged with public indecency, criminal trespassing and voyeurism.

Another neighbour said this is out of character for Luedeker. Melissa Stegmaier said he has a learning disability and most likely didn't mean to cause the commotion he did. "That shouldn't say anything about this neighbourhood," Stegmaier said. "It's very nice, very family-oriented and that would be a very rare, isolated case." Luedeker was released from jail early on Thursday. He will go to court on Aug. 27.
