An Arizona 6th-grade elementary school teacher is facing charges after several students reported to their principal he urinated in a can in class in front of them. Curt Hinton, 52, is now charged with indecent exposure, and he told police he had to go, but he couldn’t find someone to cover while he left the classroom.
According to AZFamily, the incident happened March 18 at Wilson Elementary School in Phoenix. According to the school’s principal, several students aged 11 and 12 said they saw Hinton urinate in a container while in class. They said they heard the sound of “falling water” and that Hinton’s privates were exposed. When you gotta go you gotta go, but it’s safe to say, this guy’s choice is ridiculous.
Hinton said he did what he was told to do in the military

Hinton reportedly admitted what he’d done, but said he covered himself and he didn’t think any of the students could see him. Investigators confirmed where Hinton sat was situated such that children could see what was going on beneath his desk.
According to Hinton, he was new at the school and had to use the bathroom but he didn’t know how to find someone to cover his class while he left the room. He then decided he’d urinate in the can, just like he did in the military when he couldn’t leave his post. Hinton called it an error in judgment and said he’d never done it before…
