When the officer approached and tapped on his window he noticed Kaufman's pants were down. "Seriously?" the officer asked when Kaufman rolled down his window. “I’m sorry,” Kaufman replied, according to the report. “I f—ked up. I’m really stressed.”

The Republican candidate for Maricopa Community College District Governing Board suspended his campaign after being arrested and accused of public sexual indecency earlier this month.
Randy Kaufman announced his campaign suspension on Tuesday after news broke that he had been arrested earlier in October after a police officer said he found him masturbating in his vehicle at a public parking lot.
According to a police report, Kaufman was in his parked Ford F-150 pickup truck in the east parking lot of Rio Salado College in Surprise on Oct. 4 at about 4:40 p.m.
A Maricopa County Community College District police officer noticed the truck was parked over three spaces and drove over for a closer look.
The police reports says the officer parked their vehicle about 20 feet away from the truck’s passenger side and walked up to the truck where he noticed a man with his pants down mid-thigh, masturbating while looking at a cellphone.
Apparently, Kaufman's favorite place for a public wank was near a preschool.
The officer noted in the report that Kaufman didn’t notice him, but the officer saw a bicyclist and preschool children near Wirtzie's Preschool and Child Care Center in clear view from the parking lot. The officer then moved to the driver’s side as Kaufman noticed the officer and hurriedly covered himself with a cloth.
The police report states Kaufman rolled down his window and the officer said “Seriously?” and told him to pull his pants up and exit the vehicle.
“I’m sorry,” Kaufman replied, according to the report. “I f—ked up. I’m really stressed.”
Kaufman said he hadn’t noticed the officer until he walked up to the driver’s side door and admitted he was masturbating while watching pornography on his phone.
“Why would you do that here?” the officer asked according to the report. “I saw a guy on a bike pass by you. If I could see you, don’t you think other people could? Cars were passing by you in the lot.”
The police report said Kaufman replied that he only realized that later.
“I’m just really stressed out,” Kaufman said. “I have a lot of things going on.”
I bet.
