FRIDAY, Sept. 11, 12:36 a.m. — A 19-year-old male visitor reported a burglary from the room of his girlfriend late at night, said Dennis P. Bush of Binghamton’s New York State University Police. The visitor stated that while spending the night with his girlfriend in her room at College-in-the-Woods’ Seneca Hall, they both woke up to find an unknown male in the room. The victim told officers that he had his phone out, using the light as though he was looking for something, but when the intruder noticed they were up, he retreated from the room. The visitor attempted to follow, but could not. After the suspect had fled, the visiting male noticed his iPhone, valued at $500, was missing. Police have no suspects.

FRIDAY, Sept. 11, 2:10 p.m. — Officers on patrol responded to a report of a male preventing a female from leaving the Glenn G. Bartle Library, Bush said. The officers identified the two, both 30 years of age, and questioned them separately. They both told police that they were married and were having a disagreement regarding a divorce. She claimed that she wanted to leave the University to pick up her son and her husband had tried to detain her. She also told the officers that Town of Vestal Police had been to the house before for similar reports. The officers offered to escort her to her car and she agreed. No further action was taken.

SUNDAY, Sept. 13, 10:15 a.m — A “concerned citizen” called University police about a dog who appeared to be distressed while locked in a car, Bush said. On arrival, the officers found that the small black dog, a Lhasa-Poo, had no visible water, the windows were closed with the sun shining directly on the vehicle and the food visible in a Ziploc bag was not accessible. They also noticed that there was dog feces on the seat of the car.

The patrol used a tool to unlock the car, and with the help of a Vestal Dog Control officer, brought the dog to the University police station for food and water. The inside of the car smelled of feces and urine. Also in the car was unopened mail belonging to the suspect. The officers left a note on the vehicle requesting the operator to contact the station.

When the 20-year-old female suspect, a visitor to the school, arrived at the station, “she tried to make up excuses,” Bush said. She was arrested and fined for violating a section of the agriculture laws and given a ticket for the Town of Vestal Court for Thursday, Sept. 24, at 5:30 p.m.

WEDNESDAY, Sept. 16, 7 a.m. — A 64-year-old male University employee reported graffiti in chalk on the west side wall of the Fine Arts Building, said Bush. Officers located the chalk artwork, which seemed to be a recruitment ad for the ROTC Air Force. There was a Jet Plane, the words Air Force, and the phone number to the ROTC Cornell headquarters. On inspection, officers found several more instances along the sidewalks and surrounding buildings. Among what was drawn were the sentences “We get high and go fast,” and “Aim high, USAF, above all.” Police have no suspects.
