At Tomlinson Hall, a complainant told police the left rear window of his vehicle was shattered. The glass was still in place and appeared to have been shot with a weapon similar to a BB gun.

April 3
A complainant reported that he had been supervising lighting for the dance department and left his wallet in his jacket next to a lighting console in Ed Landreth Hall. He told the police that $150 was missing from his wallet when he went to retrieve it.

April 4
A student told police $200 in cash was missing from her wallet after she left her purse unattended for approximately 30 minutes in the locker room in the Ballet Building. No other items were taken from her purse or wallet, she reported.

April 5
It was reported to police that someone had removed a tote bag from a student’s vehicle while he was locking up in the weight room in the John Justin Athletic Center. Complainant said he believes someone walked by and removed the bag.

In Foster Hall, a complainant said she had left her room for approximately 40 minutes to go to the study room while she believes someone had opened her door during that time and removed $16 from her purse.

Complainant had attached his bicycle to the bike rack with a cable lock at Leibrock Village, but his bike was gone and the lock cut when he found it.
Police were dispatched in reference to a motor vehicle accident at North Drive. After the collision, the driver jumped out of his vehicle, ran over to a student’s vehicle and kicked a dent in the right rear panel. The student told the police that the former was yelling and screaming offensive language. The other driver admitted to the charges but said he did it in a fit of rage. The student in the accident went to the officer before he left the scene and told him the second complainant had threatened him.

April 6
In Foster Hall, a complainant reported to police that his baseball glove was sitting on his desk but was missing the next morning. He claimed that his roommate left for the weekend, but he left the bathroom door to his suite unlocked.
