An officer said he found 65-year-old Timothy Wolf inside his car with his pants unzipped and a 17-year-old girl in the passenger's seat Sunday.
Indianapolis
According to a police report, an Indianapolis Metropolitan Police Department officer was patrolling Eagle Creek Park when he noticed a silver Chrysler parked approximately 30 to 40 feet away from a playground. The officer said he found 65-year-old Timothy Wolf inside his car with his pants unzipped and the girl in the passenger's seat.
Court document said the officer saw "suspicious movements from the passenger."
Wolf has been a teacher at Martinsville High School for more than 20 years. Parents and students allege he has been having an affair with the 17-year-old girl for more than a year.
"It was obvious they were having an inappropriate relationship, we were just waiting for it to come out," said Dalton Leitz, student.
Students said their friend have filed anonymous reports through the scholl's tip line.
"Him and this girl and other girls, I've seen numerous girls hanging out in his office with the doors closed," said Leitz.
Attorney John Boren said Wolf told the school Monday that he will retire, effective immediately. The school board can approve the retirement or take other action.
The school released the following statement:
"The Metropolitan School District of Martinsville learned today the Martinsville High School basketball coach Timothy Wolf was arrested yesterday in Indianapolis. This afternoon Wolf’s attorney, John Boren, notified the school administration that Wolf will retire from the school district effective today, contingent on school board acceptance. In the meantime, I have authorized an immediate internal investigation focused on gathering the facts. The M.S.D. of Martinsville also plans to fully cooperate with law enforcement during its investigation."
The girl reportedly worked at a restaurant that Wolf owns. A school employee said the girl recently graduated and that the alleged inappropriate behavior between her and Wolf had been part of a yearlong conversation among teachers and coaches at the school.
Wolf is preliminarily charged with indecent exposure.
The girl was not arrested but was taken to her car which was parked in a lot nearby.

My boy is in East Middle in Martinsville. One of his teachers, Miss Lindsey, told some kids in the class to stop talking about the deal with the coach. She told the whole damn class the teachers and staff had a meeting the day before about this and any kids talking about the incedent would be "Kicked Out" They are trying to intimidate any other girls who would come forward? I think the teachers should be talking to the students about this, not threatening them. How many girls did he take advantage of?
I lived in Martinsville my whole life and never been more ashamed of it since the last two years!
Like this is a suprise. I'm sure there are more girls, I mean seriously. Martinsville is known for their child molesters, not to mention I think every citizen there is buying/selling/taking drugs. When are school boards and the people gonna wake up and pay attention to what is going on in their schools. Oh wait, let's make sure the Judges are cutting these ppl a "DEAL". What a joke.
