CLIFTON - Two men face lewdness and other charges after they were caught in an alleged sex act on a display bed at Bed Bath & Beyond, according to a report on NorthJersey.com.

Police were called to the store on Route 3 during business hours on Jan. 30 after an employee said the men were engaged in a sex act on the display, according to the report.

Two 28-year-olds were arrested: one from Nutley, the other from North Carolina, according to the report.

The men are charged with lewdness, criminal mischief and possession of marijuana, according to the report.

Police did not release the men's names because both are suffering from a health condition known as scabies and that releasing their names would violate the Health Insurance Portability and Accountability Act.

A store spokeswoman told NorthJersey.com that the display bed had been removed from the store as a precaution.

Officers were exposed to the scabies parasite and were treated at a local hospital, the report said.

The booking area of the Clifton Police Department had to be fumigated to prevent the spread of the parasite, cops told NorthJersey.com
