Law & Order: GWU

law-7-orderWelcome back to another semester of GW’s very own Law & Order! First up, a few assault cases:


UPD officers responded to a possible fight in progress in Thurston Hall. Upon arrival, officers only encountered the complainant, unaffiliated with GW, who stated that someone he did not know previously had kicked him in the head. After an investigation on scene, the subject was identified as a GW student. The cause of the altercation, however, was not able to be determined. The complainant chose not to press charges for simple assault.


Two male students in an altercation were reported on public property on campus. Officers arrived to find the students pushing each other. The two were found to be in a relationship, and had gotten into an argument that turned into a shoving match. The case was referred to SJS for resolution.


A GW alumnus filed a complaint from an off-campus location, stating that an individual he knew who works at the university broke into his home and hit him. Despite suggestions from UPD, the alumnus chose not to report the incident to authorities in his local area.


Drug busts for this week occurred in Francis Scott Key and Thurston Halls. FSK was the site of a drug bust when a UPD officer smelled a suspicious odor. The Community Director on duty responded and conducted an administrative search, which yielded evidence of marijuana (in too small a size to weigh) and other drug paraphernalia. In Thurston, another UPD officer noticed a suspicious odor and contacted the Community Director on duty to perform an administrative search. It yielded 4.8 grams of marijuana and drug paraphernalia.
