Alan Patton, 56, was taken into custody on June 14 on suspicion he was hiding in a men's restroom and putting cups into urinals at Sports Ohio in Dublin, Ohio.

Police said Patton had turned off the urinals before putting the cups inside the urinal. He was charged with criminal mischief.

In 2006, Patton told police that he suffered from urophilia -- a sexual fetish involving urine.

He also told Gahanna police that drinking boy's urine made him feel like he was "drinking their youth," a WBNS report said.

"Even though it makes me sick, it is a release for me," Patton said in a police report. "It's almost spiritual. I feel like it makes me closer to them -- like I'm drinking their youth."

He also told police that he had collected as many as 15 "samples" in one night, WBNS reported.

Patton told officers that he wasn't hurting anyone and suffered from an illness at the time of his latest arrest, the station reported.

He posted bond and was scheduled to appear in court on July 11.

Patton will not be sentenced to prison because it is not against the law to drink someone's urine without their permission.
