A teacher at the primary school in Phoenix was arrested after he reportedly exposed himself to students while he was peeled in a can in front of his class.
Curt Hinton, 52, is confronted with four counts of indecent exposure after the alleged display on March 18 at the Wilson Elementary School.
The behavior of the sixth grade teacher teacher was reported by four students to the director, a 12-year-old boy and three 11-year-old girls, Fox 10 reported.
The students said they heard a zipper and the sound of running water and looked at Hinton to pee in a can while he was sitting at his desk.
They also reported that the teacher had exposed his genitals before adjusting his pants and belt.
Officers said that Hinton reportedly admitted that he had been playing in the gaze in the classroom, but insisted that he had covered himself with his hand.
His desk, however, was noticed by investigators as not fully attached and everyone in the class would reasonably have seen the legs of someone who sat there.
Hinton would have told the police that he was new to the school and told the police that he did not know how to get in touch with another teacher to view his class, people reported.
