Trashed and Trespassing

WEDNESDAY, March 9, 12:22 p.m. — Police were contacted Wednesday afternoon to report a trespassing that had happened early that morning in Marcy Hall of Mountainview College, Reilly said. The victim, a 19-year-old female, said that she was woken around 2:30 a.m. by a noise in her room where she observed a male rummaging through her desk. She thought she recognized him and yelled, “What are you doing?” before he left. Through her description, police were able to ID the suspect, a 20-year-old male. He stated that he had been out drinking and thought he was going into his room to change out his contacts. He said that when he realized it wasn’t his room, he left without her noticing. The case will be handled through Student Conduct.

Suspicious Scrawls

The victim who called in to report it, a 20-year-old female, said that there have been some problems within the Haitian Student Association, including the leaving of the E-board president. Although she believed he was responsible, the former president said he had nothing to do with it and left for other reasons. The victim said she was also receiving Instagram comments regarding fraud and believes that this person may have done it as well. She was encouraged to set up a meeting with the Student Association president to resolve conflicts within the organization.
