Man, wearing only a diaper, charged with public indecency

STRATFORD -- A local man was one big baby and police made sure he had something to cry about Tuesday.

Shortly after 4:30 p.m. police said they began receiving calls about a man, dressed only in a diaper, wandering around a parking lot asking for someone to change him.

When officers arrived they spotted the five-foot, 162-pound Thomas Wellington standing in the parking lot wearing only a diaper and sucking on a pacifier. A local woman who was at the store with her three young grandchildren told officers that Wellington had approached them and asked the woman to change his diaper.

He was charged with breach of peace and released on a promise to appear in court.

pending arraignment in Superior Court on June 4.
