Threatening Note at the Flats at UNF
Editor’s note: The following report contains content that may be harmful or triggering for some readers.
On Jan. 10, two University of North Florida students living at the Flats at UNF discovered a note taped to their door that threatened to expose one of the resident’s nude photos, according to a UNF police report.
The coffee-stained paper towel taped to the room’s door read, “I will print out your pic and nudes from the app and post them all over your building tomorrow so everyone sees it. You should not have played. Stop asking for dick,” according to the police report. It is unclear who the note was addressed to.
On Jan. 9, the note was taped to the door by an unknown individual between 10:00 p.m. and 8:30 a.m. the next day, according to two of the room’s residents. It is also believed that the unknown individual also threw coffee on the door, according to one of the room’s residents.
On Jan. 10, after the note was discovered, The Flat’s Resident Life Coordinator confiscated the note and performed his own investigation, according to the report. On Jan. 13, two of the residents involved reported the incident to UNF police.
According to police, there are no surveillance cameras facing the front door of the residence. The residents involved do not know anyone who could have left the note, according to the report.
It is unclear whether police are still investigating this incident.
Electric Scooter Stolen
On Jan. 6, a UNF student reported that their electric scooter was stolen on campus during winter break, according to a UNF police report.
The student secured the scooter by the handlebars with a lock before leaving campus for winter break, according to the report. When he returned on Jan. 6, he discovered that the scooter was missing. The scooter’s lock was recovered and showed no signs of tampering.
“I was pissed. I used that scooter to go everywhere,” said the victim. Spinnaker has chosen to keep the victim’s identity anonymous upon their request.
