Indecent Exposure

4/15 2129 I St.
At 10:25 a.m., an employee was coming out of an alleyway when she saw a man in her path pulling down his pants. She managed to get away from him. The male was white, between 35 and 40 years old, 5 feet 8 inches with light colored hair.

4/15 800 Block New Hampshire Avenue
A female student reported that a man exposed himself to her when she was walking on the sidewalk. He was described as a white male, wearing white shoes, a white hat and a dark shirt. UPD searched the area, found the man and detained him. Though he was dressed when they found him, his zipper was down. He denied any wrongdoing, but after the student came down to UPD and positively identified him, he was barred from campus and turned over to Metropolitan Police.

Simple Assault

4/15 Hall of Government
A student was trying to get an employee to lift a registration hold on his account. The employee said the student was trying to persuade her to “do him a favor.” When she refused, he threw the things that she had on her desk on the floor. He then took a cactus plant and threw it at her, but missed. UPD was unable to locate the student in his residence hall.
Referred to SJS

4/17 Lisner Auditorium
Two individuals, a male and a female, were attending a concert at Lisner Auditorium and taking pictures of the performers. An off-duty MPD traffic officer approached them, took the camera and asked them to accompany him to the coat-check area. The male complained that the security officer used excessive force and pushed the couple out of the auditorium. The security officer denied the use of excessive force, saying he merely escorted the couple out of the auditorium. The officer was hired by a security company based in New York and not directly affiliated with GW.

Liquor Law Violation

4/17 22nd and K streets
MPD officers contacted UPD to meet them at the corner of 22nd and K streets. Two students were drinking alcohol out of cups on the street corner. It is illegal to consume alcohol in public. The students were also less than 21 years of age.
Referred to SJS.
