Just Can’t Win

MONDAY, Oct. 3, 1:06 a.m. — Officers received a report of individuals smoking marijuana outside of Oneida Hall of College-in-the-Woods, said Investigator Robert Meddleton of Binghamton’s New York State University Police. The witness complained that the two suspects, one 19-year-old male and one 19-year-old female, had blown smoke in his face as he entered the building. An officer responding to the scene noticed two individuals in the Oneida Hall vestibule who matched the description given by the witness. The officer approached the two suspects, who initially denied smoking marijuana and were very uncooperative, but eventually admitted to smoking outside earlier. Since neither had identification, the officer escorted them back to the male suspect’s dorm room to retrieve his student ID. Once in the room, the officer noticed marijuana on the desk of the male suspect’s roommate, who had been asleep. All three suspects were referred to the Office of Student Conduct and no charges were filed.

Sleeping Beauty

TUESDAY, Oct. 4, 1:49 p.m. — Officers received a report of a burglary in Oneida Hall of College-in-the-Woods, Meddleton said. The victim, a 19-year-old male, reported that he returned to his room at 1:20 a.m., placed his wallet on his top drawer and fell asleep without locking his door. When he woke up at 11 a.m., he noticed his door was left open during the night and closed it before returning to sleep. He later woke up to find his wallet was missing from his drawer. The wallet contained $16 in cash, credit cards, a student ID and his driver’s license. The victim’s roommate reported that none of his possessions were missing. The case is still under investigation.

Slippery Situation

TUESDAY, Oct. 4, 4:15 p.m. — A student came to the police station with a complaint of issues with his roommate, Meddleton said. The victim, an 18-year-old male, reported that his roommate in Delaware Hall of Newing College, also an 18-year-old male, had spit on him and made vulgar comments on two separate occasions during this semester. The victim said he believed the suspect had spat on him because he was snoring too loudly. The victim elected not to pursue charges against his roommate but will be switching into a new dorm room.

Fraternal Fraud

WEDNESDAY, Oct. 5, 1:13 p.m. — An officer went to Student Conduct to meet with a victim reporting a fraud, Meddleton said. The victim, a 22-year-old female, stated that she had purchased two tickets to an event from a 21-year-old female that she later found out were fraudulent. The event, titled “King of Diamonds,” was hosted by a fraternity at an off-campus location. The victim stated that she purchased the tickets in the Tillman Lobby of Old University Union. The tickets cost $10 each and officers believe that as many as 100 tickets may have been fraudulent. The case is still under investigation.
