Students abandon charcoal grill, dash away

4. On Saturday, Sept. 30, at 1:35 a.m., a Security officer saw two males carrying a charcoal grill in front of the Susan B. Anthony Residence Halls. When the officer stopped to ask them about the grill, they dropped it and ran away. The two males were observed crossing the bridge to Hill Court and entering Chambers Hall on security camera footage. Security officers entered Chambers but could not determine which suite the males had entered, Keirsbilck said. The grill was taken by Security until the owner can be identified.

Men get preachy with passersby

5. Security officers at the Eastman School of Music received a report of two males near the intersection of Main and Gibbs streets shouting gospel and commenting about fornication to bystanders. The individuals refused to stop yelling or speak with Security officers, who contacted Rochester Police. Police officers made contact with the individuals, but could not make them leave because they were not impeding traffic, threatening or speaking obscenities. The males continued yelling for about an hour before leaving of their own volition, Keirsbilck said.
