Feb. 18 Theft (Student Union)- An officer met with a complainant who said his skateboard was stolen in the 45 minutes he left it unattended while he ate lunch. The victim said at the time he was seated next to two males, one black and one white.
After noticing his skateboard was missing, the victim questioned both suspects, who denied they had seen anything. The complainant was suspicious because the black male had a skateboard almost identical to his. The only difference was the suspect’s initials on the bottom.
As the two suspects were leaving, the complainant and his friend noticed a name on the white suspect’s book bag and tracked him down through Facebook.
After being questioned by UPD, the white suspect said he did not want to be an accomplice and admitted his friend took the skateboard.
UPD questioned the black suspect, who said it was his pennyboard and that he had taken it to his mother’s house.
A police officer searched the suspect’s trunk and found a longboard, which the suspect said was his backup.
UPD spoke to the suspect’s friend and sister, both of whom were only aware of the suspect having one skateboard: the longboard.
Officers are still investigating.
