THURSDAY, Oct. 22, 3:27 p.m. — Police recovered the wallet of an 18-year-old male student from a lost-and-found bin, Investigator Dennis P. Bush of Binghamton’s New York State University Police said. Upon checking inside, they found a student ID, a driver’s license and a non-government emergency photo card for residents of New York, which contained a photo of the student that matched the photo on the driver’s license, although the date of birth did not match. The suspect was called and informed that his wallet had been found. He came to the police station and, after verifying it was his, he was asked about the non-matching dates of birth. The suspect stated that he had forged the ID card as “kind of a joke.” He was arrested for criminal possession of a forged instrument and issued a court appearance ticket for Nov. 19 at 5:30 p.m.

THURSDAY, Oct. 22, 5:14 p.m. — A 20-year-old male non-student reportedly removed a blue push plate for the handicapped from the door of Hinman College’s Cleveland Hall, Bush said. ResLife reported that the suspect had been living in Cleveland Hall for some time, and when patrol responded and questioned the man, he stated he was living with his 18-year-old girlfriend in one of the dorms. Police found the push plate, and the suspect said he had found it between Cleveland Hall and Hinman College’s Lehman Hall, and had tried to use it to gain entry to Cleveland Hall some time earlier. Patrol placed him in custody and transported him to the police station where he was arrested for criminal mischief and issued a court appearance ticket returnable for Nov. 5.

THURSDAY, Oct. 22, 6:23 p.m. — A 20-year-old male student reported a debit card, a credit card, his driver’s license, his personal keys including a vehicle key, a gray sweatshirt, a black Motorola cell phone and his backpack missing from an East Gym cubby at the above time, Bush said. The student made a walk-in complaint at the campus police department, and also requested that a boot be placed on his car. There were no witnesses, and police have no suspects.

THURSDAY, Oct. 22, 8:50 p.m. — A 37-year-old male professor was indirectly harassed by a student while teaching in the Science Library, Bush said. The professor told officers that he keeps a dry erase board outside of his classroom, and upon entering the classroom at 5:50 p.m. to begin teaching there was nothing but a smiley face drawn on the board. During this class, the professor handed back students’ midterm grades, and one male student got up and left, appearing angry and disgruntled. When the professor exited the classroom at 6:45 p.m., he found that the smiley face on the dry erase board had been erased and replaced with Cantonese writing. The professor had it translated and determined its literal translation, which could be taken as a threat. Police tracked down the student, who admitted to what he had done and said that he was only angry and did not mean to harm the professor. The professor has declined prosecution, but the student has been referred to the Office of Student Conduct.
