March 22 Suspicious Person (Library) – An officer met with the complainant who said while walking from the Library to her dorm, she observed the suspect standing behind a pillar near the Library. As she walked by, he approached her and asked what her name was, as well as where she lived. The complainant said the suspect appeared to on drugs, based on the size of his pupils. Following this interaction, the complainant called the police. While she did so, the suspect ran and hid in a nearby flower bed.

March 22 Theft (Building 41) – An officer met with the complainant who said he discovered his Osprey 1Card missing March 20 when his mother called to tell him he had no money left on it. However, the complainant recalled having money on the card the last time he used it. He said the card might have fallen out of his pocket when he reached in it to use his phone while walking around campus. Upon checking the card’s transactions, it was found it had been used mostly in vending machines in Osprey Hall. No canvass was conducted due to the time factor.
