A 22-year old male is in Missoula Police custody for a series of incidents in which he is accused of exposing his genitals in Missoula neighborhoods and to children at bus stops.

Update: (3:20 p.m.) Cole Francisco, a registered student at University of Montana, will be held on $125,000 bail.

The suspect, named Cole Francisco, is expected to make a court appearance in Justice court at 2:30 p.m. today, March 20. He will be charged with two counts of indecent exposure, one count of felony indecent exposure, as well as a charge of probation violation.
