At 17, Marty Kruglik got a job as a price checker in a supermarket. This job gave him unprecedented access to children who wandered away from their parents in the store.
One day in 1971, Marty noticed a boy, about 8, eating an apple that he had not paid for. Furious, Marty grabbed the boy, covered his mouth with his hand and dragged his into a stockroom in the back. There, he taped the boy's mouth shut, stripped him naked and tied him to a pole.
Marty then started dancing around with a crazed Indian. He then untied the boy and made him dance around on all fours like a buffalo while making buffalo noises. Marty then fondled the boy's testicles and said, "Me suh teach you lesson. You no steal."
Marty then tied the boy to the pole again and said, "Me suh gonna scalp you!" Revealing a tomahawk, Marty swung it backwards. Just then, the store manager walked in and said, "Kruglik, you damn crazy Injun, what the fuck are you doing?!!!"
Marty was arrested and charged with kidnapping, false imprisonment, committing a lewd act against a child and second-degree buffalo sodomy. He was held in the Cook County Jail pending trial. One day, a guard told Marty he had a visitor.
"Guy says his name is Joe Ricci," the guard snorted.
