CHS Report: 4:44PM – Cal Anderson Park – Indecent Exposure – A 30-year-old woman was arrested and charged with indecent exposure after her bizarre behavior in Cal Anderson Park drew the attention of passersby and the SPD. Witnesses state that they noticed the woman exposing her breasts when she rolled over in her sleep in the northeast corner of the park. One witness reported telling the woman that she was exposing herself at which point she rolled back over. Later, two witnesses said they noticed that the woman’s shorts and underwear were around her knees. When they attempted to cover the woman with her bag, they found that she was apparently covered in fecal matter. Finally, one witness concerned for the woman’s well-being, summoned the officers who arrested the suspect and had her transported to her to East Precinct where, the officer report notes, she removed her shorts while waiting in the holding cell.
