Naked Man driving next to School Bus or School Bus driving next to Naked Man?

Here's a story that seems rather strange.


Field Trip Ruined By Exhibitionist
Police: Naked Man Drove For Miles Next To School Bus

JOLIET, Ill. (STNG) ― 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.

Ok, so.... Here's my question. Why would the school bus driver keep pace with the guy in the van? Or even allow the man to keep pace with the bus?

You have a bus full of kids and this guy has his schlong hanging out. Slow down, let him get in front of you, call 911 and give them the license plate number. Then slow down more so he gets away from the eye sight of the children.

Why "continually provide information"? All they really need to know is the color, make and model of the vehicle and the plate numbers. They don't really need to know how many reps the guy is getting in. What could possibly have been the continual information? The vehicle isn't going to change colors or magically float off into the horizon.

Maybe the article is missing some information. Maybe the school bus driver did let the man get in front of the bus so the 4th graders couldn't see anything. If so, good job.

However, I think if I had a child on that bus I might be a little upset if the bus driver did nothing to get the man's car away from the side of the bus. Yes, she did call 911 and she did report the vehicle. Does that mean she had to keep up with the vehicle or allow it to keep up with her?

I guess if any of the parents go off about it we'll see something about it in the paper.
