[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

If he weren't married...that would be one thing.

What does a 38 year old woman want with an 81 year old married guy anyway?

The Dims really think they have a hot one here.....unfortunately for them, the local media is recogizing Norm senior as a war hero and a greater hero to getting it on at 81!!!!!

Nursing home personnel have told me that sex is the very last thing to go with the males - even the ones with "A".

My friends grandfather started doing stuff like this when he first had Alzheimer's. He was kicked out of several nursing homes because of it and it was devasting for the family.

As pointed out, there are suburbs called Brooklyn Park and Brooklyn Center, but Colemen is from Brooklyn, New York.

At 81, with a 38 year old? No comments... But how embarassing for the senator.

Garrison Keiller, in some local newspaper op-eds, has accused the younger Norm of philandering.

setting the article content aside you can see the depths that society has stooped.

Is there some relation there? I have heard them rag on Sid about his cousin Norm plenty of times in the past but I never heard them tie Imus' wife in to that family.

Does he have proof? Why would he put that in an op-ed? Spewing hatred?

Uuuhhh. He's a man. The "issue" is that he wants to have "relations" with women. Short of killing him, no amount of "help" will change that.

If my Dad was doing a woman in a parked car at the age of 81, I'd give him a pat on the back.

38, 83, yeah, I can see how you could make a mistake.

Simple transposition of numbers, maybe he's dyslexic.

And I do believe Hillary Clinton, at times, shows symptoms of Alzheimer's as well ( "I don't remember" "I don't remember" "I don't remember".........)

"Schrag told police Coleman Sr. is her boyfriend", at the moment.

Instead of giving him a pat on the back ( innocent passersby, which may include children, shouldn't be subject to such lewdness and careless disregard, not to mention possible prostitution ), you should give him a key.......to a motel room.

I feel sorry for his son, as well as his WIFE.
