Haunted house worker gets too creepy and gets arrested

CHICAGO (WGN) — A suburban haunted house worker has been charged and is accused of saying inappropriate comments and touching patrons in an unwelcomed way.

23-year-old Robert Keller of Algonquin, Ill. was charged over the weekend with battery and disorderly conduct. He was accused of using an electrical neck massager on a teenage girl inappropriately as she waited to get into a Montgomery, IL haunted house.

In addition, Kane County Prosecutors accuse Keller of speaking to her inappropriately.

Dressed like a bloody clown, Keller was a volunteer worker at the Massacre Haunted House.

A spokesperson for the haunted house says Massacre Haunted House has been in business for over a decade serving over 100,000 patrons and has done so without incident.

Keller is no longer working with the operation in Montgomery.
He posted $1,500 bond and is due back in court November 5th.
