SATURDAY, OCT. 23, 12:12 a.m. ‘ Officers on patrol responded to a dispute between roommates in Hinman College’s Smith Hall, said Investigator Bush of Binghamton’s New York State University Police. Officers arrived at the room to find that two 20-year-old male suspects had been shouting at and arguing with each other before their 19-year-old male suitemate had separated them. The first suspect stated that his roommate had begun yelling at him and throwing things for no apparent reason, although officers did not observe any discarded items having been thrown around the room. The second suspect stated that he was angry at the first suspect for repeatedly making fun of a third party, and had begun yelling at him for doing so. After interviewing both suspects, police observed a bottle of wine and several beer cans around the common room, and when identifying the 19-year-old male found him to be in possession of a ‘chalked’ New York State learner’s permit that belonged to someone else. All suspects were referred to the Office of Student Conduct instead of being arrested.
SATURDAY, OCT. 23, 1:06 p.m. ‘ Staff reported that graffiti had been drawn on five different locations on the second floor of Newing College’s Bingham Hall, Bush said. Reportedly, at least one of the drawings resembled a mural. There were no witnesses, and police have no suspects.
SUNDAY, OCT. 24, 9:21 p.m. ‘ A 24-year-old female student reported that her 22-year-old ex-boyfriend was stalking her via phone calls, text messages and appearing at her dorm in Susquehanna Community’s Brandywine Hall, Bush said. The victim made a walk-in report to police to state that although she did not want action taken against the suspect, she still wished to make a report. She stated that she had not spoken to him and had ignored all of his attempts at communication. Police advised her to make another report if such behavior continued.
TUESDAY, OCT. 27, 12:43 a.m. ‘ A 19-year-old male suspect reported having received a harassing call on his cell phone while outside of Newing College’s Chenango Hall, Bush said. The victim reported that someone using a restricted number had called him and repeatedly asked, ‘Where’s my pound?’ The victim assumed it was a prank call and went along with it until he realized that the caller was serious, and became alarmed when the caller began referring to street addresses from the victim’s hometown. The victim made a report to police after the suspect hung up, stating that he had no recent problems with anyone and did not know who could have been calling him with such a request, and that he thought the caller was referring to a pound of marijuana. Police have no suspects.
