Man charged for masturbating while driving

By Alexis Tarrazi / Senior Reporter

RUTHERFORD — A 60-year-old Washington Township man was arrested Sept. 10 for masturbating in a car while driving on Route 17 South, according to police.

A Glen Rock resident reported at 8 a.m. she was driving south on Route 17 in Hasbrouck Heights when she observed a man — later identified as Daniel M. Furesz — masturbating in his 1993 beige Buick LeSabre near Franklin Avenue.

The woman called Hasbrouck Heights police and they notified surrounding departments on a radio frequency, called S.P.E.N. Rutherford Police Officer William Gumbman located Furesz in a Meadowlands Complex parking lot off the highway.

The victim was driven to the scene where she identified Furesz as the man she saw driving, said Rutherford Police Lt. Patrick Feliciano. Furesz was transported to Hasbrouck Heights. A handgun was later located.

Furesz was charged with possession of an automatic handgun, persons not to have weapons and lewdness. Bail was set at $100,000 with a 10 percent option.

The New Jersey Department of Corrections also reports Furesz has an extensive criminal history of lewdness, where he was charged with 15 counts since 1994. Additionally, Furesz has been charged with sexual assault, endangering the welfare of a child and possession of a weapon for an unlawful purpose.

Furesz was transported to Bergen County Jail in lieu of bail.

I guess they'll have to make a law about masturbating like talking on your cell phone while driving ....

okay, so he was charged with possession of an automatic handgun and arrested because of that and not because of the masturbating, am i right?

because, even though it's disgusting, it would be pretty exaggerated to arrest somebody because he was masturbating is his own car.

Masturbating in public is never acceptable; furthermore, he has a history of lewd behavior.

Omg, I was on the bus on my way to school this morning and looked down at some car and the man in it had his hand in his pants.

The things I see sometimes.
