An intoxicated man allegedly fondled a 5-year-old's buttocks during a party late Saturday in Ryan Park. Freddy Navarro, 52, was arrested and charged with breach of peace, fourth-degree sexual assault, and injury/risk/impairing morals. Bond was set at $10,000.
Police say Navarro was talking to the girl's uncle at the party, when he touched the girl. Her mother was at another part of the party but complained to police. Navarro could provide no explanation, because of his state of drunkenness, police say.
