Coach accused of exposing himself on Cynwyd Trail says he was urinating

In a statement Wednesday, Overton said he walks his dog on the Cynwyd trail several times a week. On Sunday, "During the walk I felt the need to relieve myself. With the nearest bathroom nearly a mile away, I stepped off the trail and into a wooded area to take care of business in what I thought was a discreet manner,” he said in the statement emailed by the public relations firm of Jeff Worden.
