Wheaton police hunting for flasher

Wheaton police are looking for a man who exposed himself to a woman near President's Park on the city's southeast side.

Police issued a news release Thursday afternoon asking for assistance locating the flasher, who struck at about 7 p.m. Tuesday on the 1300 block of South Lorraine Road.

The victim told police she was approached by a man walking his dog. The two exchanged pleasantries and walked away, but the woman said the man called back to her and when she turned around he exposed himself. The woman called police immediately, but no suspect was located.

The suspect was described as a white man in his early 20s with brown hair. He was last seen wearing a white baseball cap, white T-shirt and black warmup pants. The dog was described as a black, medium-sized Labrador mix with a white spot on its chest.
