TODAY: (Updated 10:46 a.m.) A Hampton, Ill., man arrested Monday for indecent exposure at Credit Island Park is a food service employee at the Illinois Youth Center in Kewanee, Ill., and has been placed on administrative leave.
Gary Medenblik, 42, of 328 1st Ave., was one of three men arrested by Davenport police after they were allegedly observed masturbating in wooded areas of the park. A fourth man was arrested for prostitution.
Derek Schnapp, a spokesman for the Illinois Department of Corrections, said Medenblik was placed on paid leave Tuesday after officials learned of his arrest. He said it’s normal procedure for the department to place an employee on leave if they are arrested.
Schnapp declined to detail Medenblik’s role at the center, which houses juvenile sex offenders.
He said Medenblik will remain on leave until his case is reviewed and there is a hearing to determine his future with the department.
The charges against the four men are all misdemeanors.
