SATURDAY, Feb. 27, 9:47 a.m. — A 53-year-old female member of the cleaning staff in Delaware Hall of Newing College reported several burned pieces of paper on and around a toilet seat in a stall on the second floor of the building, according to Dennis P. Bush of the New York State University Police. In addition to the burnt paper, there were several burn marks on the walls and floors of two of the stalls. The case is classified as arson in the fifth degree, but there were no witnesses and police have no suspects.
SUNDAY, Feb. 28, 4:17 a.m. — Patrol arrived at the M1/M2 parking lot after receiving a call from a 19-year-old male student stating that he had been attacked by three unknown suspects, Bush said. The suspect reported that the three individuals had been walking down the nearby road when they jumped the victim. One of them struck him on the left side of his face, causing him to lose consciousness and fall into a snowbank. According to police reports, a second person saw this happening and ran to help the victim, whereupon they called the police after the victim regained consciousness. Patrol called Harpur’s Ferry for the victim, and though they found various abrasions on his face, he declined medical assistance. Police swept the area, but found no suspects.
MONDAY, March 1, 6:16 p.m. — In Hunter Hall of Mountainview College, a 20-year-old female resident assistant reported a used condom stuck to the bottom right side of a bulletin board in the hall, Bush said. The RA had worked on the board, whose theme involved “getting lucky,” the previous day. The following day at 6 p.m., the RA noticed the used condom. She later received a call stating that it was not, in fact, a used condom, but does not know who placed the call.
WEDNESDAY, March 3, 5 p.m. — An 18-year-old female student, while speaking to someone in the Food Court of the New University Union, made the offhand comment, “Maybe I should stab her a few times” Bush said. An employee who overheard the comment reported the incident to her supervisor, stating that although she thought that the student had no intent of doing what she said, she felt obligated to report it. The suspect spoke to police and was advised that she should not make such comments. She stated that she understood the issue and was sorry for saying it. No disciplinary actions will be taken.
