The two complainants placed the items in a caged storage facility before leaving campus April 30. When they returned May 10, they discovered the gaming system missing.

The officer said the scent of alcohol emitted from Secure’s person. Scattered around the area were broken chairs, beat-in walls and a commercial dryer, lying upside down, on the floor with chords ripped out. Secure admitted he had consumed alcohol earlier but did not give any explanation as to why property was damaged except that, “the dryer wasn’t working.” Secure was physically arrested and referred to Student Conduct for possible disciplinary actions.May 11 – Injury (Building 48) – John P.

May 11 – Burglary (Building 41) – Student Michael Quatromoni reported his parking decal stolen after receiving a ticket from parking services. He stated be believed the car was burglarized in the night between
May 11 and May 12. Quatromoni said he may have left the car unlocked. Nothing else was missing from his car. While the reporting officer was investigating at parking services, student David Richter came in to pay a ticket. The officer noted that the number on his ticket corresponded with Quatromoni’s parking decal. The officer recovered Quatromoni’s decal from Richter. Richter had reported his own decal stolen prior to being found with Quatromoni’s decal. He was missing a GPS but thought his decal was left intact. The prevailing opinion is that the burglar stole Richter’s decal and replaced it with Quatromoni’s. The investigation is ongoing.
