Man was allegedly naked in window
ZELIENOPLE — A bridal boutique co-owner stands accused of filling his display window with mannequins and the full monty.
According to court records, three witnesses not only saw 54-year-old Peter Scolieri of Cranberry Township naked in the window of One Enchanted Evening, but at least one woman took a picture of the exposure with her cell phone.
One Enchanted Evening, located in the 200-block of Zelienople’s Main Street, advertises itself as offering contemporary fashion for prom, pageant and bridal events.
But court records say on July 20 around 8:23 p.m., police were contacted about a man in the shop’s window wearing only his birthday suit.
When an officer arrived, three woman --- ages 19, 21, and 37 --- described seeing a man in the window, next to the mannequins “fully naked, no shoes, shirt, pants or anything,” according to court records.
One of the witnesses provided police with a picture she had taken with her phone, according to court records.
Court records indicate the business was closed for the day and the doors were locked. Officers reportedly knocked and no one answered.
At that point, the police allegedly contacted co-owner Linda Scolieri at her Village Drive home. She called her husband, who was inside the business, and he exited the building, according to court records.
Peter Scolieri allegedly smelled of alcohol, “had an attitude and acted as if we were being an inconvenience to him,” a Zelienople police officer wrote in the court documents.
At first, Peter Scolieri “became very defensive and began stating, ‘Lawyer, lawyer,’” the court records state. But when told about the cell phone picture of the man in the window, Peter Scolieri “seemed to get nervous.”
The defendant allegedly told the officers he had “a few drinks” earlier, which he later clarified to mean two drinks, according to court records.
Peter Scolieri, described as having slurred speech and glassy eyes, was placed inside a police car for his safety where he “began bashing his head on the window and had to be told to stop multiple times,” according to court records.
Peter Scolieri was permitted to go home with his wife, but not until at least one witness identified the defendant as the man who had been naked in the window, according to court records.
Peter Scolieri faces three counts each of indecent exposure, open lewdness and disorderly conduct. A preliminary hearing has not yet been scheduled.
Peter Scolieri did not return a telephone message left at the store.
