An officer was dispatched to Building 39, J. Brooks Brown Hall, on Sept. 25 because someone was gaining access to the roof. The officer met with a UNF employee who said she heard a loud banging coming from outside on the third floor level by the stairway.

The employee said she walked outside and saw 4-5 males causing a disturbance. They promptly left after she told them to leave, before she called the police. The men appeared to have been banging their skateboards against the metal railing.

An estimated $500 of damaged was done to the railing. One of the metal rails was bent and the other was knocked out of the concrete setting.

Patrol efforts have been suspended due to lack of information.
