"Officer Pulls Over Man Wearing Panties For Drunken Driving
Local Teacher Wore Women's Clothing In Previous DUI Incident
MEDINA, Ohio -- Medina County authorities pulled over an experienced high school teacher this week, but it was what the man was wearing inside his vehicle that raised some officer's eyebrows.
NewsChannel5's Jonathan Costen reported that a Medina Township officer pulled over the driver of a Jeep late Monday night for driving without headlights.
When the driver, Cloverleaf High School teacher Mark Wurstle, stepped out of the vehicle, he was wearing a hooded sweatshirt, along with a pair of panties.
While his outfit wasn't breaking the law, police said he was driving under the influence.
Police may have been on the lookout for Wurstle because earlier that night he made a stop at a bar.
A bartender thought what she saw was funny, but she also thought she should give police a heads up.
Costen reported that this isn't the first time police pulled Wurstle over on a DUI charge.
Six years ago,
Medina police pulled him over, and then, too, Wurstle was wearing a unique fashion.
An incident report states Wurstle had earrings, lipstick, rouge and blue eye shadow, and he was drinking vanilla extract.
When the officer asked if he was wearing any clothes, the report states, Wurstle opened his coat and showed him a black dress trimmed in white that went mid-thigh, along with a white pearl.
He was arrested for drunken driving.
The Cloverleaf school superintendent told NewsChannel5 that Wurstle is at school doing his job, and he's a 25-year veteran committed to the kids.
He also said the school system is conducting its own investigation to find out about the allegations.
