Law and Order: GWU

Here’s what happened in crime on campus this past week:

Up first, the United States Secret Service (uniformed division) contacted University Police after an officer caught sight of a GW student urinating on a vehicle near the White House. The student was eventually returned to campus; the case is in the hands of SJS tonight.


Next, a drug bust out of Thurston…UPD received an anonymous complaint of a suspicious odor emanating from a room. Upon arrival, officers found four male subjects smoking marijuana. The community director was notified and an administrative search yielded 1.9 grams of marijuana, trace amounts of cocaine and LSD. All this took place at around 8:30 in the evening.


An incredibly bizarre and disturbing case on 22nd and I streets…a female subject contacted University Police after she witnessed an unidentified male “handling” himself inappropriately. Surprisingly, the onlooker reported that it appeared as if the subject was engaging in sexual intercourse with a tree. The male claimed that he was just going to the bathroom on it; MPD transported the individual to DC General for observation.


And last, but certainly not least, a drug bust out of Fulbright yields a staggering surprise…a patrol officer doing rounds of the building smelled a suspicious odor emanating from a room; the community director was contacted and an administrative search was performed. UPD confiscated paraphernalia and nearly 7 ounces (198 grams; ½ pound; $2,300 value). 5 subjects were arrested and charged with intent to distribute.
