Police Watch: Nov. 5, 2010

WEDNESDAY, OCT. 27, 3 p.m. ‘ A 20-year-old female student received an e-mail while at her residence in Dickinson Community’s Whitney Hall, which contained threatening language and also promised to find the student’s B-number and name, said Investigator Dennis P. Bush of Binghamton’s New York State University Police. Officers discovered the sender of the e-mail to be a 21-year-old male student. The officers questioned the suspect, who asserted that he had meant to send the e-mail to his friends and had no intention of the e-mail going to this girl. He apologized for the e-mail and maintained that he was not trying to bother anyone. According to Bush, on Wednesday ‘the server failed with a hardware error corrupting exchange mail log,’ which may or may not support the suspect’s explanation. No further action was taken.

THURSDAY, OCT. 28, 11:15 p.m. ‘ An animal complaint was filed by maintenance staff at the Hillside Community of a young fawn tangled up in the volleyball net at the court behind Hillside, Bush said. Police found the deer tangled in the net and successfully removed the deer without any head-butts or kicks. The deer appeared fine after being removed and refused medical attention, according to the police report.

SUNDAY, OCT. 31, 12:15 a.m. ‘ A 19-year-old male student was seen in parking lot Q2, in front of College-in-the-Woods’ Mohawk Hall, making obscene gestures and using obscene language toward a cab driver, Bush said. The suspect had already been spoken to twice about obstructing the roadway, and then officers confronted the suspect. Upon being searched, he was found to have no threatening weapons, but did possess another person’s New Jersey driver’s license. The suspect was referred to the Office of Student Conduct.

SUNDAY, OCT. 31, 2:15 a.m. ‘ University Police were called to the Hinman College Dining Hall after an unknown male suspect threw a tantrum in the store area of the dining hall, Bush said. The suspect purchased food and then proceeded to eat it in the store area, despite requests from the workers for him to eat it in the eating area. The suspect then became irate, protesting that it was a free country and he could eat where he wanted to. When patrol was called, the suspect fled and despite searches through the dining hall and the surrounding area, he was not found.
