1. Rochester resident Charles Judge, 56, was arrested for trespassing on Saturday, Oct. 16.

According to UR Security Investigator Daniel Lafferty, Security officers discovered Judge’s presence on campus after getting reports of a man in a Wilson Common ladies’ room.

When questioned about this claim, Judge admitted that he had been in the ladies’ room, but only because he could not locate the men’s room.

After the incident, Judge was taken into police custody and removed from the property.
