Harris County deputies are looking for a man they say exposed himself along a walking trail at Mike Driscoll Park, and they want the public to help track him down. Investigators have identified the suspect as 36-year-old David Schumaker and say a warrant has been issued charging him with indecent exposure. Schumaker remains at large while deputies put extra eyes on the park.
According to KHOU, Harris County Precinct 5 detectives tied Schumaker to the case through their investigation and secured a warrant that notes a previous indecent exposure conviction. Precinct 5 detectives told KHOU they believe there may be other victims and urged anyone with information or who experienced a similar encounter to come forward. Investigators directed tips to Detective Kayla Cohan at [email protected].
Where The Encounter Happened
The Harris County Precinct 4 parks page notes that Mike Driscoll Park spans about 46 acres and features a 1.13-mile hike-and-bike trail along with playgrounds. The trail is a regular spot for walkers, joggers, and families and is open daily from 7 a.m. to 9 p.m.
Precinct 5 Response
Precinct 5 deputies say they have boosted patrols and placed the area under special watch while they search for Schumaker, according to KHOU. The constable’s office stressed that tips from the public are key to moving cases like this forward and again encouraged anyone with information to reach out to detectives. Deputies have not said where Schumaker might be headed or whether they believe he is still in the immediate area.
Incidents of indecent exposure in county parks have drawn swift action from constables before, and recent arrests show how a mix of tips and targeted patrols can quickly lead to charges. A January indecent exposure arrest in another local park highlighted the same pattern of stepped-up enforcement and tip-driven investigations.
Legal Status
Detectives obtained a warrant charging Schumaker with indecent exposure and noting at least one prior indecent exposure conviction. If he is taken into custody, authorities say he will be booked on the outstanding warrant. The investigation remains active, and officials have not indicated whether additional charges could follow.
How To Help
Anyone who saw the man or has information about his whereabouts is asked to email Detective Kayla Cohan at the address provided by investigators. For non-emergencies or to submit a tip online, residents can use the Precinct 5 online crime tips form on the Precinct 5 website. Authorities say to call 911 immediately if you spot the suspect in person.
