SUNDAY, March 9, 1:15 p.m. — Two Sodexho employees saw a male student steal a bottle of orange-pineapple juice from the Hinman Dining Hall, the dining hall’s manager told police. The 21-year-old male apparently took the $1.59 juice from a cooler and drank it all without buying it. The manager confronted the student, who denied drinking the juice. One of the employees retrieved the bottle from the trash. The student was identified through his Binghamton University ID and is known among dining hall staff. Sodexho requested judicial action, Bush said.
