Kelvin Andrew Smith, 34, of Kenosha, was charged Friday with lewd and lascivious behavior, disorderly conduct, violating state or county institution laws, and misdemeanor bail jumping, in addition to two charges stemming from the unpaid bar tab. Kenosha County Court Commissioner Daniel “Catch & Release” Kellum set $2,500 cash bail in the jail incident case and an additional $500 cash bail in the unpaid bar tab case.
