Campus police are investigating a reported indecent exposure incident occurring at the bus stop on Manning Drive shortly before 12:00 noon Saturday. A black male in his late 20’s-to-early 30’s approached the female reporting party at the bus stop and exposed himself. The reporting person left the scene without further incident. The suspect was described as being bald or having short-cropped hair and possibly having short facial hair. He was approximately 5’6’” tall, 160 pounds, wearing a white t-shirt with blue jeans.
