SHAWNEE, Kan. – A traveling salesman from California faces charges in a bizarre case involving a drunken Shawnee man and his wife.
The salesman, identified as Alexander Gavlitta, 21, of Fresno, told police the drunken man invited him into his home in the 12800 block of West 51st Street on Monday only to pull a gun and demand he have sex with him.
Gavlitta says the drunk man passed out, so he picked up the gun.
That’s when police say the passed out man’s wife came home and Gavlitta ordered her around with the gun, leaving with the gun, credit cards and jewelry.
Gavlitta now faces charges in Johnson County Court of kidnapping, felony theft, criminal damage to property and possession of drug paraphernalia.
Investigators were conducting DNA tests Thursday to determine if the husband would be charged with a sex act.
Capt. Bill Hisle, a spokesman for the Shawnee Police Department, called the case "kind of messed up."
