Airport security manager facing indecency charges... Cleveland-Hopkins International (KCLE), Cleveland, Ohio

The manager of airport security at Cleveland Hopkins International Airport is facing criminal charges for allegedly masturbating outside a local tanning salon and making obscene phone calls to Tan City and other area tanning salons.

John Dialinos, 45, has been placed on unpaid administrative leave from his $64,000-a-year city job while the case works its way through the court system, airport spokeswoman Jackie Mayo said Friday.

Dialinos, who lives in North Ridgeville, was charged with public indecency and two counts of telephone harassment earlier this week after an investigation by North Ridgeville police that focused on calls to Tan City, Tru-Tan and Xtreme Tan that date as far back as last year.

North Ridgeville police Lt. Greg Petek said officers first learned about the calls in December, when a tanning salon manager complained her staff had received several sexually charged calls.

Petek said the caller would start out the conversation asking legitimate questions.

“Then he would get into making lewd remarks talking about his genitalia,” Petek said.

Tanning salon workers also reported hearing moaning and heavy breathing during the calls, he said.

Police set up a system to track the calls and traced the obscene ones back to a prepaid, disposable cell phone that was in the area of the salons when the lewd calls were made, Petek said.   Full story
