Field Trip Ruined By Exhibitionist
Police: Naked Man Drove For Miles Next To School Bus
JOLIET, Ill. (Sun-Times Media Wire) ―
Police say fourth-graders received an unwanted anatomy lesson during a field trip Thursday.
Mark R. Hotuyec, 46, of 1224 Nicholson St. in Joliet, was arrested after allegedly fondling himself while driving naked next to a school bus for several miles.
Chief Fred Hayes said students from Wood View Elementary School in Bolingbrook were headed to a performance at the Rialto Square Theatre around noon when a minivan pulled alongside the bus.
"On Broadway near Theodore, the bus driver noticed a maroon 1996 Chevy Astrovan was driving in the next lane. The driver was completely naked and masturbating in full view of the kids," Hayes said.
The bus driver called 911 and updated police on the situation as both vehicles drove into downtown Joliet.
"She did a great job continually providing information so that our officers could stop the vehicle," Hayes said.
Police stopped the van at Chicago and Van Buren streets.
"The driver was still naked when he was taken into custody," Hayes said.
The field trip continued as planned. Hayes said police spoke with Wood View officials about the incident.
"They're very concerned, but were relieved the suspect was arrested," he said.
Hotuyec was booked into the county jail on a felony charge of criminal exploitation of a child. Police also impounded the Astrovan.
