Crime Log


In Thurston Hall, UPD officers filed a report of destruction after a fire extinguisher was used. The fire extinguisher activated the smoke detector, setting off the fire alarm at 2:09 AM last Tuesday, February 24th. The individual who used the fire extinguisher has been identified, and the case has been closed and referred to SJS.


Fraudulent use of GWorlds has been prevalent recently, as evidenced by the cases two students whom have been victims of unauthorized charges to their accounts. A female student discovered that her GWorld number had been used to make purchases at online food vendors, while a male student lost his GWorld and then discovered it had been used at a restaurant off campus. Both cases are currently under investigation.


A female student filed a complaint of harassment in City Hall. The student’s roommate purportedly had guests over to the room, and the group began to call her names. The complainant notified hall staff and UPD, but upon arriving at the room, officers found that the roommate and her guests had left. The case has been closed and referred to SJS.


An escort van driver sitting in front of the Mitchell Hall 7 Eleven contacted UPD to report a student he observed lying on the sidewalk in front of Mitchell. UPD officers arrived and found that the student was so intoxicated that he could not stand. Unable to perform sobriety tests, they contacted DC Fire and EMS, who transported the student to the GW ER for further medical treatment.
