Law & Order: GWU

Up first, a case of public intoxication in Kogan Plaza…University Police caught sight of a female individual stumbling around next to the Gelman Library. Officers made contact with the GW student who reported that she was not as intoxicated as she appeared to be, but rather, was exaggerating to be funny. The subject was assessed, required no medical attention, and was sent on her way.

Next, UPD confronted two individuals in the Marvin Center, one of whom was drinking from a flask. The flask was confiscated by officers and returned to the owner – its contents having been dumped out. The owner was not a GW student and ultimately left.

Well, a story that you probably read about in the GW Hatchet recently…A female GW student unlawfully entered the Lerner Health and Wellness center. It all started when a staff member at the front desk asked her for GWorld identification to gain entry. The female subject didn’t have it and was later spotted darting past employees and infiltrating the facilities via an elevator. University police arrived on scene, entered one of the work-out areas and confronted the female subject, who was using a machine. The individual refused to cooperate with officers and was forcefully removed from the facility. She was summarily arrested for unlawful entry. Her case is being processed at this hour.

And last, but not least, an episode you don’t see every day…a case of attempted fraud at the NIH Federal Credit Union. A male subject attempted to cash four different checks made out to an individual from a certain company. After the teller said the checks could not be cashed, the subject started behaving erratically and the teller activated a silent alarm. UPD and MPD arrived on scene only to find that the subject had fled. GW Radio has learned that the checks were made out for an astronomical amount of money. UPD Chief Delores Stafford reported it was in the upwards of multiple millions of dollars.
