Isn't it a little cold to be romping around on the beach at night? Apparently not for an area school's assistant principal and a member of the Blue Man Group. Michael Pressler, 48, the assistant principal at Maine East High School in Park Ridge and Darren Stephens, 45, a performer for the Blue Man Group, were arrested yesterday and charged with public indecency after they were discovered engaged in "in a sex act on Chicago Park District property." The pair were arrested last night at 5:45 p.m. in a lakefront park located on the 4500 block of North Simonds Drive. Both will appear in Misdemeanor Court in February. No word on if either will lose their jobs as a result of the incident, but Tobias Funke is putting on the body paint just in case. UPDATE: The Blue Man Group is now saying Stephens doesn't work for them and never has.
