Police search for south Charlotte greenway flasher

CHARLOTTE, N.C. — Police are trying to figure out who flashed teenage girls exercising at a Charlotte greenway.

The girls told police they saw a naked man wearing only sunglasses fondling himself Tuesday near the Johnston Road entrance of the McAlpine and 4-mile Creek greenways.

Channel 9 spoke to people who go to the area often and say they are now concerned.

"If I had known about that, I wouldn't be jogging here on my own, especially considering that I've never seen any police patrol on the greenway back here," said runner Jana James.

The girls told police the man was white, about 25 years old, 5 feet 11 inches tall and weighing 180 pounds.
