Wanted man found
• Campus police arrested an 18-year-old male Sunday, Sept. 27, at the 7-Eleven store on the corner of Bay and Pierce Roads after officers found a felony warrant for his arrest out of Wyoming, Mich.

The suspect had been staying with an 18-year-old female. He is now in custody.
Ron Trepkowski, chief of University Police, has requested that any student who sees suspicious behavior please call campus police.
