Naked Pastor Arrested Masturbating Outside Walmart

The Kenosha County Eye reports:

Someone summoned the Kenosha County Sheriff’s Department to the Somers Walmart early Thursday morning, August 10th. The person saw a male white, fully naked, standing next to a black truck and appeared to be masturbating. According to Kenosha County Sheriff spokesman Lt. Ryan Markowski, 57-year-old Thomas Bartmer was seen by responding deputies quickly getting into the truck, while still naked. Bartmer reportedly admitted to the act. According to its website, Bartmer is a pastor at Lighthouse Church in Antioch, IL.

From the Lighthouse Church website:

Through the ministry of Temple Baptist Church, Kenosha, Wisconsin, Tom rededicated his life to Christ in the summer of 1984. Two years later, he sensed God’s call to the pastorate, to which he responded by giving himself to the priority of preparing for the ministry. He also served as a marriage counselor, and supply preached for many of the Southern Baptist churches in the Lake County, Illinois area. In May of 1998, Tom graduated from Moody Bible Institute, earning a B.A. in Pastoral Studies. On July 18, 1998 he was ordained and now serves as senior pastor of Lighthouse Church of Antioch.

You may recall that last year a pastor was arrested on two occasions for public masturbation on the patio of a Starbucks near Orlando.
