¢ Police are investigating a report that a man exposed himself two mornings in a row to a 23-year-old employee in a drive-through on south Iowa Street. The incidents happened Aug. 3 and 4, both between 7:45 a.m. and 8 a.m. Police would not identify the business out of concern for the victim’s privacy.
