Follow Up

Feb 20: A woman called the police and said she and her family spotted an "elderly gentleman" urinating in the woods just off the trail near Grassy Pond.

The woman felt it was inappropriate to have her children witness the man urinating, the man said he was not aware anyone else was in the area.

There were no indecent exposure charges filed but the officer responding to the call asked the man to be more careful in the future.
