Indiana State Police arrested a Chicago man Wednesday afternoon after he was found driving completely nude and masturbating on the Indiana Toll Road.

Police were called about the man driving eastbound around 1:30 p.m. Trooper Al Martinez stopped a green 1994 Toyota at the 1.47 mile marker about three miles east of the Angola exit in Steuben County.

The driver identified as Sean P. McCormick, 37 of Chicago was completely nude with petroleum jelly on his hands. When asked why he was traveling like that, McCormick said he felt comfortable driving in the nude and was on his way to Ohio to visit his mother.

McCormick was arrested for indecent exposure and taken to Steuben County Jail.

" This is a breaking story because sensationalism sells papers. More people will surf to this story because co-workers will spread this like wild fire and since the site's 'exposure' (little pun there) is increased, they will justify charging more for advertisements. And it is amusing for a few moments. Now excuse me while I forward this to my co-workers. "

" When I was in highschool my bus took the expressway and there were several days that a similar "incident" took place. It seemed a bit more disturbing, as the focus seemed to be exposure to the teen-aged girls on the bus. In any event, I'm glad that the Times posted this because it was a shocking thing that isn't too uncommon and I would hate for my two young daughters to witness something like this. "
