(Francisco Kjolseth | The Salt Lake Tribune) A homeless man who was reported by a restaurant along North Temple for exposing himself when he urinated in the flowers in front of the business refuses to give his name, and his uncooperative behavior leads to his arrest, as officers check his pockets for drugs on Wednesday, Aug. 8, 2018. Members of the west-side policing bicycle squad patrol Glendale and Rose Park with an emphasis along North Temple, where they have seen an increase in criminal activity following Operation Rio Grande, nearing the halfway mark.
