University of Iowa Police say a former patient accused of masturbating in front of employees at the UI Hospitals and Clinics on multiple occasions has been arrested for returning to the facility against a court order.
Arrest records indicate 26-year-old Chad Fairchild of Davenport entered the UIHC on June 21st of last year despite a court order saying he could only return to the hospital under escort of family, law enforcement, corrections, or security personnel and after notifying UIHC Safety and Security. None of those conditions were met, and Fairchild was charged with Trespassing.
Fairchild was banned from the UIHC after a May 29th, 2019 incident where police say he started masturbating on three different occasions in front of a staff nurse and nurses monitoring him on video.
A UI Police report indicates that during one incident Fairchild allegedly stated “you people on the video, do you like that?” while stroking his penis.
Fairchild was taken into custody and charged with Indecent Exposure, a serious misdemeanor punishable by a maximum of one year in prison, if convicted. Court records show he skipped a court appearance on July 27th of this year, and a warrant was issued for his arrest. He was taken into custody Friday, and a new case management conference was set for September 8th.
