The chairman of the township Planning Board has been charged with lewdness for allegedly stripping naked outside a local school after taking part in a basketball game.

Scott Kintzing, 59, was served with a summons on Nov. 12, said West Deptford Police Chief Craig Mangano.

The incident happened about 7:30 p.m. Oct. 23 outside Oakview Elementary School, Mangano said Monday. It was captured on security footage of school grounds.

A female school custodian witnessed Kintzing changing his clothes outside the back of the school after the game. The custodian told police Kintzing was completely naked when she confronted him. After the custodian confronted Kintzing, he drove off, Mangano said.

School officials were notified of the incident and contacted township police, who conducted an investigation.

No children were present at the time of the incident, Mangano said.

Kintzing could not immediately be reached for comment Monday.

His attorney, Jeffrey V. Puff of Woodbury, said Monday afternoon he believes the charge will ulitmately be resolved "favorably" for his client.

"The charge is unfortunate," Puff said. "There were 15 guys playing basketball that night."

Puff declined further comment on the incident.

The charge against Kintzing was transferred from the township's Municipal Court to Mantua's to avoid any potential conflict of interest since Kintzing is a public official in West Deptford. No hearing date has been set, a Mantua court official said Monday afternoon.

If convicted of lewdness, Kintzing faces a maximum sentence of six months in jail and a $1,000 fine.

Kintzing, a banker, has been a member of the Rowan University Foundation Board of Directors since 2008.

He had a long career at The Bank (now known as Fulton Bank), ascending to chief executive officer in 2005, and later vice chairman and president of the New Jersey division of Fulton Bank. He retired from the bank in July 2011.

In August of that year, he was named market president of Mount Laurel-based Cornerstone Bank.

Kintzing's son, Hunter, ran unsuccessfully for a township committee seat as a Democrat in 2011.

Caught with his pants down!

LOL and then some! If were San Francisco instead of NJ, he still could have gotten away with this. It was 7:30 at night and dark (although he could have been standing under a light) and no kids were around. He's guilty of (very) poor judgement, not lewdness.

but... on the comments they were saying that there is normally a brownie troop that meets there, and he was caught on video tape. The custodian should not have to be at work and be offended by a naked man, especially a township official. The guy only live 5 minutes from that school--- I know... I know him, the school, and the area very well.

My thing is... why was he changing his clothes outside when there are lockerrooms and bath rooms in the school where he was playing?

As I said, poor judgement. I'm not trying to defend his actions. I'm sure he's going to pay a heavy professional price as it is. I just don't know about jail time unless they can prove he was trying to expose himself to children.

Oh boy!!
