West Reading police pursue pair of peeing reports

About 2:40 p.m. Nov. 23, West Reading police received a report of a man who had relieved himself in some bushes at the corner of Seventh and Penn avenues.  Officers never found that suspect. Five minutes later, police received another call about a man who peed in some bushes in the 200 block of Olive Street, more than five blocks away from the first call. This time the officers caught the man, who said he had been waiting for a friend for more than two hours and “could not hold it any longer,” according to the police report. He was cited for disorderly conduct. No word on if the friend ever showed up.
