WEST NEW YORK, N.J. — Trying to prove he was injured by bedbugs has landed a northern New Jersey man in legal hot water.

West New York police say 60-year-old Guillermo Enriquez went to town hall in the Hudson County community this week to complain about an infestation of bedbugs at his residence, The Jersey Journal of Jersey City reported Saturday.

While speaking with staffers there, police say Enriquez became very angry and agitated. He then decided to show the employees “what the bedbugs had caused” by pulling down his pants, police told the newspaper.

The staffers lodged a complaint with police, and Enriquez was arrested Friday and charged with lewdness.

There is no telephone listing for Enriquez, and it was not known if he had retained an attorney.
