After the man returned to the park on Thursday, he was issued a trespass warning, which bars him from returning, police said. The man consented to another interview with detectives.

"While his behavior on Sunday was concerning, there has been no reported conduct on his part that would result in a criminal charge at this time," police said. "He was advised that he will be charged with trespass if he returns to the park again due to the formal trespass warning."
