Suspicious Situation
• At 1:48 a.m. Friday, April 8, a student called police because of a concern that a fight was about to happen between Living Center North and Living Center South. When officers arrived, only six students were in the area where the fight was supposed to occur. The officer told the students to go to their rooms, but they stayed on the stairwell and were letting people into the building. The officer left and when he returned later the subjects were still there. One of the subjects took off running and the officer had to chase him and caught him on the first floor. The 19-year-old male student was arrested for disorderly conduct and resisting.
• At 10:42 p.m. Saturday, April 9, a student called police because two males were outside of Living Center South asking everyone who passed them if they lived there or had keys to get in. When officers arrived, one of the subjects stole a bike and tried to get away. Officers obtained both subjects. Both of them were intoxicated and underage. One was arrested for minor in possession and the other for a minor in possession and larceny. Both were non-students and received no trespass letters.
• At 3:15 p.m. Saturday, April 4, the director of ITS advised police that a male student had accessed SVSU’s website program. The student employee used his administrative password and name to gain access and took away administrative rights from some of the professors. The case is still under investigation, but further action will be taken.
Larceny
• At 8:45 a.m. Sunday, April 10, two roommates reported that their laptops were stolen from their room in Living Center South. They were sleeping in their rooms and the only time their room was unlocked was for an hour. There is video footage of two male subjects in Living Center South testing doors to see if they were unlocked. Police sent pictures of the two subjects through VMail. People are encouraged to contact campus police immediately if they recognize these males.
• At 12:30 p.m. Saturday, April 9, a male student reported that his laptop was stolen from his room in Living Center South. His door was unlocked while he was sleeping at night. Police think it occurred in the morning and the surveillance cameras caught the same subjects as the case before.
• At 2:30 p.m. Monday, April 11, a female student reported that $180 and her iPod Touch were stolen from her room in Living Center North. The money was returned after officers identified the subject on the surveillance camera. He admitted to taking the money but not the iPod Touch. Charges will be sought.
• At 10 p.m. Monday, April 11, a female student reported that $480 was stolen from her wallet from her room in Living Center South. She left her room unlocked while she went down the hall to study for a few hours. It was gone when she came back. The case is still under investigation.
• At 11 a.m. Thursday, April 14, a male student reported that his debit card had been stolen. The card was returned after someone found it on the football field, but $65 was charged to it at 7-Eleven while it was missing. Police are trying to get video during the time it was used.
