Southeast Missourian

Cape Girardeau police have been conducting an ongoing undercover investigation in the Cape County parks after receiving several reports of indecent exposure, said Sgt. Barry Hovis of the Cape Girardeau Police Department.

Gregory A. Marcus, 31, of 415 Estate Drive, No. 123, was issued a summons Wednesday after allegedly exposing himself to an undercover officer.

"We want people to know the parks are there for family reunions, to take your kids to play, for fishing and flying kites, not for lewd and inappropriate conduct," Hovis said.

Another man, Delmar Crites, 72, was issed a summons for indecent conduct earlier this week, and police are still searching for several unknown subjects associated with the incidents, Hovis said.
