Police briefs are written according to reports from University Police. These indicate preliminary descriptions of events and not necessarily actual incidents.
Assault
• A male student was arrested for assault and battery at 2:30 a.m. Saturday, Feb. 20.
Another young man was dropping off a female resident at Living Center Southwest when her ex-boyfriend, who also is a student, ran up to the car and tried to pull her out. The female punched the male and threw her bag, but he persisted.
The driver of the car got out and held a gun by his side. The driver had a permit for the weapon so no charges were held against him. The ex-boyfriend ran off and later was arrested.
• Police responded to reports of a fight in the Townhomes at 2:15 a.m. Saturday, Feb. 20. When police arrived, the fight was over, but students reported that a male had a gun, but got away in a Jeep. No shots were fired and no one was injured and the case is still under investigation.
