Murray police are giving a bus load of teenagers the credit for helping catch an over-exposed sex offender.
The Murray High students were on a bus at the intersection of 4800 South and State Street when a man pulled up in his car and held up a sign.
"Which said: ‘Would you like to see my …'" explained Murray police Detective Kenny Bass.
Bass says Justin Blair Andersen started undoing his pants when the bus pulled away.
The teens got the license plate number of the car and gave such a good description of Andersen that cops caught up with him quickly.
But Bass says they didn't see him that closely. "Yeah, I guess that was just lucky, upon the turn, that they didn't have to sit through anything further," he said.
Justin Andersen was arrested for lewdness. He was convicted of indecent exposure in 2001.
