Kicked out
MONDAY, Aug. 20, 12:25 a.m. — Officers responded to Endicott Hall of Newing College after a 20-year-old male made a harassment complaint against a 22-year-old female suspect. The male said the female, an ex-girlfriend, asked to stay at his dorm room that night because she did not have anywhere else to go. Although the male victim initially agreed to let her stay in his room, he later asked her to leave. The suspect refused to leave and got into an argument with the male. After officers spoke with the suspect, she decided to go to a hotel. An officer gave her a courtesy escort, and she was given a warning for trespassing and harassment.
Unknown number
MONDAY, Aug. 20, 3:09 p.m. — An 18-year-old female came to the police station to file a harassment report.

The female said the suspect never threatened her and just tried to have a conversation with her, but she became concerned when the suspect revealed he knew her school and hometown.
