MAN CAUGHT LOITERING OUTSIDE GIRLS LOCKER ROOM EXPLAINS "IT'S OKAY-- I USED TO BE A GYM TEACHER"

WICHITA, KS -- Local authorities were notified Wednesday night after concerned parents became suspicious of a strange man hanging around outside the girls locker room at Central Junior High. Police detained and questioned 43-year-old Todd Dobson then forced him to leave the premises before he could even finish watching the 8th grade girls basketball game. "With my experience as a gym teacher, I just wanted to be sure that the girls were stretching out and taping up" said the concerned Dobson, "and that I had some Icy Hot, if they needed some Icy Hot -- that's all".

Dobson, who actually did have a tube of Icy Hot with him, currently works at Dick's Sporting Goods. He has had two stints in the past in which he taught Physical Education. Both times he was dismissed from his position for undisclosed reasons.

Police officer Mike Fina said that Dodson became very defensive during questioning. "He kept saying things like 'If you were in my class, your ass would be running laps all day' and 'You see this whistle? This is my badge'". But since Dobson had not broken any laws, the officers could only escort him away from scene. "If there was a law against 'creepiness', we would've taken him in" said Fina.
