Indecent Exposure

On the morning of July 18, Officer Altman was approached by a KSU grounds worker and notified that there was a man masturbating in the West Parking Lot. Altman met with Officer Massengill, a translator and the female worker that witnessed the lewd act. She told the officers that she was at the West Parking lot throwing brush into a dumpster when she noticed a black male standing by the wooden stairs with his pants down masturbating.

The man was described as wearing a light-colored shirt, 5’7’’ to 5’ 10’’, thin, 18-35 years old and bald. The worker stated the man ran up the steps and into the woods after she made eye contact with him. She immediately left the area in her utility vehicle and attempted to tell a man walking on Paulding Avenue but failed due to a language barrier. The man translating for the officers drove to the West Parking lot to look for the man but could not find him.
