Man 'Mooned' Randolph High School Employees: Police

Randolph High School went into a lockdown after a man allegedly pulled his pants down in front of school employees.

RANDOLPH, NJ — After being told he could not meet with the principal without an appointment, a frustrated man mooned staff at Randolph High School, Randolph police said. The incident led to a school wide lockdown earlier this week.

Sanjay Chaudhari was served with summonses for disorderly conduct and lewdness after police say he exposed his buttocks while yelling and cursing at school employees on Tuesday.

Chaudhari entered the school Tuesday morning, looking to speak to the principal without an appointment, police said. After being told he would need an appointment, Chaudhari allegedly became angry and was taken outside by school staff.
