Police were called to Cole Park and contacted a female jogger who reported a Hispanic man exposed himself as she jogged in the 1700 block of Ocean Drive.  The woman told Officers as she ran southbound near the North entrance to the park she observed the man turn and expose himself.

The jogger continued running and began dialing 911.  The man ran off as she called Police.  She described the man as a 50-year-old Hispanic male, 5’8″ to 5’9″ feet tall, and weighing 160 to 180 lbs.  He was last seen wearing a red Polo shirt, khaki pants, and appeared to be very neatly groomed.

Running is normally a safe activity, but  the Corpus Christi Police Department recommends that runners have a running partner or let someone know where you’re running and when you will return.  Avoid deserted streets and avoid unlighted routes at night. Carry your identification and a cell phone in case of an emergency.

Runners should run to populated areas, if confronted.  If you are attacked, try to keep calm and look for an escape opportunity or chance to call for help.

Anyone with any information on this crime is encouraged to call Crime Stoppers at 888-TIPS or submit a tip online.  Callers will receive a cash reward if the suspect is arrested.
