Karczewski's further misadventures show his alcoholism and hint at
pedophilia

Bay man arrested naked and drunk at hospital (page 3 headline)
PACIFICA: A San Francisco man was arrested in a Bay area hospital
following an altercation with medical staff. Raymond Ronald Karczewski,
33 entered San Francisco General Hospital complaining of rectal
bleeding and started arguing with several nurses. He was escorted to a
private office to await consultation but disappeared with staff
presuming he had left the premises.
Security was called to a crowded waiting room in the pediatrics wing
ten minutes later where Karczewski was discovered to be completely
undressed and masturbating in full view of those within, including a
number of children.
"It was horrible" said Sabrina Wright who was waiting with her 10
and 12 year old sons. "He leered at my boys while touching himself,
told them that he was Jesus Christ, wanted them to 'join' with
him." Another witness indicated that Karczewski staggered into the
bathroom and emerged naked after several children ran from it
screaming.
Karczewski is being held pending arraignment.

Pacifica Tribune, 1970
Shamed ex-cop agrees to leave state
PACIFICA: Raymond Karczewski, 33, of San Francisco agreed in a plea
bargain to leave California after numerous arrests and amassment of 17
criminal charges.
Karczewski has made a name for himself over the past several years with
outrageous, alcohol-fueled behavior. In 1968 he shot a mannequin in a
local discount clothing store, in 1969 he attacked the mayor and
members of the Pacifica city council after being terminated from the
Pacifica PD stemming from the mannequin shooting incident. Although the
shooting occurred off-duty from the PD, his bizarre behavior was a
concern and increasingly embarrassing for the department.
His reputation was already tarnished among the officers with whom he
served, many of them referring to him as a "real live Barney Fife."
Karczewski had reportedly shot himself in the foot while playing with
his police issue revolver. Three months later, he shot his patrol car
radio in a fit of anger, wounding his partner as shrapnel from the
round was deflected from the chassis into the officer's knee and
groin.
Just two months ago, Karczewski was arrested in a Bay area hospital,
naked, intoxicated, masturbating in a crowded waiting room. He has
agreed to leave the state by the end of the year, never to return or
face reinstatement of a multitude of criminal charges.
