Police Briefs
Uncle PB has a new set of wheels. The public safety department must have finally recognized his hard work and given him what he’s wanted all along: a chick magnet.
Now, the ladies say “Look at that style” when he rides by College Hall. Or so he thinks. Regardless, check out the new police vehicles on campus. Ol’ PB is excited about them.
Two thefts highlight this week’s police report. On Sunday night, a Parkhurst manager reported the theft of food items from the Off Ramp. In the Hogan Dining area on Monday, a student left his laptop and went to the bathroom, only to return and find it missing. Both cases are active.
A student’s lost wallet, which held two fake IDs, was turned over to campus police on Sunday. On Monday, Residence Life found a small amount of marijuana and paraphernalia in a student’s room in Assumption Hall.
