Man has exposed himself several times to walkers along the trail, including young people.

The vandalism has generated interest throughout the metro area and from Islamic communities around the country. The Council on American-Islamic Relations this morning issued a press release asking that the FBI become involved and consider bias as a possible motive. However, …
