A peaceful afternoon hike turned unsettling for a 27-year-old woman at Conway Robinson State Forest in Gainesville. While walking along the trail, she encountered a man running in the opposite direction who allegedly exposed himself as he passed.
The incident did not involve any physical contact, and the man continued running after the act. Officers responded quickly, but the suspect had already left the area.
The suspect is described as a muscular male of mixed race, wearing an orange muscle-style shirt, a gray baseball cap, and gray boxers. Authorities are urging any park visitors who may have seen the man to come forward.
