A 72-year-old substitute teacher was arrested for touching himself in front of students at a high school in Stamford, Connecticut, Wednesday afternoon, according to CBS5.
A teacher’s assistant told police she saw a male substitute teacher, identified as Michael Luecke,72, masturbating in front of some lockers at West Hill High School.
The assistant told police that she thought Luecke was injured and that, when she went to help him, he had “his hand in his pants and manipulating his penis.” The school employee screamed as Luecke ran away.
According to surveillance video reviewed later, Luecke can be seen “suspiciously manipulating the front of his pants while looking at students in the courtyard.” Six students passed by the area where Luecke is alleged to have exposed himself.
The video also shows Luecke going behind lockers for about a minute, then emerging and lying on his back on the floor.
According to school officials, Luecke’s behavior was “completely out of character” and police are looking into his personal life to see if something triggered his behavior.
