Law and Order: GWU

Up first, a burglary out of Funger Hall…University Police responded to a complaint of broken glass that was lodged in a door. Upon examination, it was determined that an unknown perpetrator had broken a glass window and opened an office door from the inside. The occupant of the office was eventually located and reported that a laptop had been stolen from the premises. UPD crime scene technicians had an opportunity to investigate the scene; the damaged door was eventually re-secured. The case is still open tonight.

Next, an incident of disorderly conduct on 2100 and H streets…Two individuals were getting into a taxi that was partially blocking the road when the driver of an automobile behind them honked impatiently. This prompted one of the patrons to hurl a water bottle at the car’s windshield. The impatient driver exited the vehicle and a verbal dispute followed. Metropolitan police arrived and summarily broke up the fight. No charges were filed.

A car accident on 20th and F streets…A complainant reported to UPD that he was in the process of making a left-hand turn from F Street on to 20th when a vehicle ran a red light. In attempts to avoid a major accident, the driver swerved and hit a parked car. No injuries were reported. UPD is classifying this event as an apparent “hit and run.”

And last, but not least, a troubling off-campus occurrence…A female GW student reported to University Police that while walking on the 2600 block of K street, she was grabbed from behind and fondled by two male subjects. It was originally believed that they were attempting to rob her. The details surrounding the case remain sketchy at this hour. Police are looking for the subjects.
