CHARLOTTE, N.C. — Police arrested a man accused of exposing himself to a child during recess at Park Road Montessori School on Tuesday afternoon.
Feliciano Guardado Ramirez, 45, has been charged with felony indecent exposure and felony indecent liberties with a minor.
Police responded to the school in reference to an indecent exposure around 1:45 p.m. Tuesday.
Police said they were told that a male parked a vehicle near the open area playground, caught the attention of an 8-year-old female student, exposed his private parts and started masturbating in front of her before fleeing.

A teacher identified the vehicle and told authorities.
Through information gathered, detectives with the Crimes Against Children Unit tracked down the vehicle and identified Ramirez. On Friday, Ramirez voluntarily came to police headquarters, where he was interviewed by detectives.
“I think there are a lot of people who are not well and I think it is awful somebody would do that,” resident Angelica LoBiondo said.
The principal sent a message to parents after the incident:
"At this point, we are working with law enforcement to fully investigate the incident. Thank you for continuing to partner with us to keep your children safe by encouraging them to report any unusual activity."
