Police: Suspect last seen in dark blue Chevrolet Trailblazer
Police are looking for a man they say exposed himself to a student on campus early Friday morning.
The man showed a female student his gentials and was masturbating at about 12:30 a.m. Friday on the 700 block of Bull Street, according to a Crime Alert.
That block is in the heart of campus, near the Bull Street Garage, Russell House and a number of female-only residence halls, including Patterson Hall, South Tower and the Women's Quad.
He was in a dark blue Chevrolet Trailblazer, parked at a meter along the street, the alert said. He is described in the alert as an overweight and "possibly Hispanic" man with dark hair, last seen wearing a T-shirt.
An incident report was not immediately available Friday evening, according to Capt. Eric Grabski, a spokesman for the Department of Law Enforcement and Safety, but was expected to be by Monday.
The incident follows a string of indecent exposure cases in Columbia's Shandon neighborhood and another earlier this month near Owens Field.
It is unclear if this case is connected with the earlier ones, Grabski said, but police will likely consider such a link as the investigation continues.
"I'm sure that's something we'll be looking at," Grabksi said.
