BALTIMORE, Dec. 21 (UPI) -- A Baltimore elementary school teacher found in a parked car at midnight with a 15-year-old boy faces sex and assault charges, authorities say.
Mark Allen Hyzer, 25, has been placed on leave from his job at the Beechfield School, The Baltimore Sun reported. He was being held in the Harford County Jail, charged with third- and fourth-degree sex offenses, sexual abuse of a minor and second-degree assault.
Hyzer was arrested by police responding to a call late Saturday about a suspicious car in Bel Air in the Baltimore suburbs. Officers said Hyzer was in the driver's seat and the teenager in the passenger seat.
Both allegedly acknowledged to police they had been having sex.
"Their stories pretty much matched," said Sgt. David Betz, head of the county police child advocacy center.
