[Sen. Norm] Coleman's dad cited for lewd conduct

Police report seeing 81-year-old and woman engaged in sex act in pizzeria parking lot

St. Paul police cited the 81-year-old father of Sen. Norm Coleman and a female companion after officers reported seeing them engaged in a sex act in the parking lot of a popular pizzeria.

A person passing Red Savoy's Pizza at 421 E. Seventh St. called police about 6:30 p.m. Tuesday and said two people were "having sex in a vehicle," a police report said.

Officers issued citations to Norman B. Coleman Sr. and Patrizia M. Schrag, 38, for lewd and disorderly conduct. Schrag told police Coleman Sr. is her boyfriend.

Neither the elder Coleman nor Schrag, who both live in St. Paul, could be reached for comment Wednesday, but the Minnesota senator issued a statement.

"I love my father dearly," he said. "I do not condone his actions or behavior, and I am deeply disturbed by what I have learned. He clearly has some issues that need to be dealt with, and I will encourage him to seek the necessary help."

Beverly Coleman, the elder Coleman's wife and the senator's mother, said she was shocked to learn of the citation.

"I can't believe that is true," said Beverly Coleman, who lives in New Jersey.

Her husband has emphysema, she said, and suffers from symptoms that could be the beginning of Alzheimer's disease.

Norman Coleman Sr. is a World War II veteran who raised his eight children in Brooklyn. He ran a small construction company.

He often accompanied his son on the campaign trail during his 2002 bid for the Senate.

"He has something about him," the father said of his son in the days before the election. "I don't know what it is. But what he does brings people to him."

Sen. Coleman, once a Democrat and now a Republican, was mayor of St. Paul for two terms, beginning in 1993. He ran for governor in 1998 and lost to Jesse Ventura.

The violations the elder Coleman and Schrag were cited for are misdemeanors, and both carry a maximum penalty of 90 days in jail and a $1,000 fine. For someone with a prior conviction for lewd conduct, the charge would become a gross misdemeanor and carry a harsher penalty, but neither Coleman nor Schrag appears to have a criminal record.

Under state law, people convicted of lewd conduct must undergo a sex-offender assessment before sentencing, according to the St. Paul city attorney's offic

More power to him. Next time, however, he needs to rent a motel room.

Sounds like the old guy has more hardening to worry about than the Viagra kind.

Little brain countermanded big brain.

What's the fuss, he was just getting a nice hot pie at the pizza joint.

I thought Norm was a New Yorker (as in Brooklyn, NY)...He's a Hofstra grad.

I'm sure Democrats will now want to run Norm Coleman Sr. for president.

No, it's Brooklyn, NY.

You must be confused by the Minneapolis suburbs of Brooklyn Park and Brooklyn Center.

When you get to the age of 81, you do it wherever you have an opportunity, I guess.

I've always heard that every man sees an eighteen year old looking back at him when he looks in the mirror... he just decided to act on it.

Good on him. At his age, you (1) never trust a fart, and (2) never waste a boner.

At his age, I'm not sure his wife sees it quite the same way.

He thought he was 18?

Perhaps he's dyslexic.

Yeah. Not too believable that this woman would want to have sex with a man who is old enough to be her great, great grandfather.

That's kind of what I was thinking. I mean, I can't really approve, but I couldn't find it in my heart to do much other then congratulate him.
