Law & Order: GWU


First up this week, a fire alarm activated in New Hall, resulted in the evacuation of the building. University Police and local fire crews responded to the scene to find no evidence of an emergency. A pull station was purportedly activated manually, for no known reason. The case is still open.


University Police was contacted by an employee of Gelman Library for a case of disorderly conduct. The employee discovered that an individual had defecated on the floor of the library. The perpetrator is still at large.


A report of a suspicious odor in Munson Hall prompted officers to make contact with the room in question. They received no response after knocking, so the officers entered the room and found a male individual engaged in suspicious activity. The community director was contacted to perform an administrative search, which yield point-4 grams of marijuana and paraphernalia.


A male GW student reported his room key missing after an off-campus robbery. The student was in Ohio when his set of keys and car were stolen. The car was found; the keys were not.


A female GW student contacted UPD to report an off-campus robbery that occurred on L Street. The student got out of a cab at 22nd and L Streets, and then saw a male subject following her. He purportedly shouted, “Give me your money!” twice, and the girl held out her cash. He then took the money and her cell phone from her hand and ran after seeing someone else coming. The student reported the case to both UPD and Metro Police, and the investigation is still ongoing.
