Wallet disappears from car

On March 25, a 21-year-old UNF student reported to UNFPD that his wallet was stolen from his car two days prior.

The victim said on March 23 around 8:45 a.m., he parked his car near Building 1 of The Flats to ride to school with a friend. He returned to his car around 7 p.m. When he opened the car, he noticed the front passenger door was unlocked, and his water bottle he left on the center console was on the front passenger seat.

Later, he couldn’t find his wallet, but he remembered he placed it in the driver’s door pocket. However, when he checked the pocket, the wallet wasn’t there. The victim thought somebody must have opened the passenger door, knocked over his water bottle and stolen his wallet.

Since the victim waited two days to report the incident, UNFPD did not conduct a canvass of the area. UNFPD also didn’t process the car for fingerprints because of weather conditions throughout the week.

Suspect for battery at large

A 20-year-old man who punched a female UNF student is still at large.

At 1:16 a.m. on March 26, a UNFPD officer arrived at the Osprey Landing in response to a fight.

A witness said she saw the victim running after the suspect to Lot 10, when the suspect turned around and punched the victim in her face, causing her to fall to the ground. The suspect, who is not associated with UNF, then picked her up by her hair and threw her back on the ground.

Two other witnesses who were already in the parking lot saw the suspect run towards the Fountains.

The victim told police she was fine, and she wasn’t hurt. The victim said the suspect knocked on her door, and when he saw the victim with another guy in the room, the suspect left. She said she ran after him, and when she caught up with him, he punched her in the face and called her a b—-.

When the officer asked the victim what the suspect’s last name was, she wouldn’t say at first. After the officer asked several more times, the victim finally revealed the suspect’s last name. The officer noted in the report that the victim wasn’t very cooperative, and she didn’t want to do anything about the incident.

The victim refused to press charges and signed a prosecution declination.

Later that morning around 4 a.m., another UNFPD officer saw the victim and the suspect together at the Osprey Landing. When the suspect saw the officer, he fled. The officer couldn’t find him.

The suspect was given a trespass warning on Feb. 6 for an altercation with the same victim.

The victim was sent to Student Conduct for not cooperating with the officer.
