POST FALLS - Post Falls police are investigating a possible exposing incident that occurred on Tuesday morning.
According to police, a female student was walking to Post Falls Middle School about 7:30 a.m. when an adult white male, believed to be between 18 and 21, exposed himself, then walked away.
The incident happened near Lincoln Street and 11th Avenue.
The male made no attempt to touch the female, according to a letter sent home with students from the school district.
