The suspect approached her while she stood at the East Main and Gibbs Street intersection and yelled an inappropriate comment at the victim.

The suspect did not speak any further but reached out and grabbed the students’ buttocks and fled across Gibbs Street through an adjoining parking lot. The victim was not injured and has not yet filed a police report, but she may file one at some future time.

The trash can’s contents, which included typed pages of text, were on fire at 2:35 a.m.

Complete computer recycled unnecessarily

A staff member discovered a desktop computer in a recycling bin in a hallway in Meliora Hall on Saturday, April 13 at approximately 4:40 p.m.

The cables showed damage and the computer and its appliqus were collected to keep safe but the computer was later released to Information Technology Services staff.

There was a search later conducted that canvassed the building to find where the break-in might have occurred. The search produced no results, however, as the point of entry could not be determined.
