Crime Log

Disorderly Conduct

4/2/07 – Mitchell Hall – 12:45 a.m. – case closed
A student reported that he was outside Mitchell Hall when an unknown individual threw an object out a nearby window. He said he looked up and saw a male poking his head out of the window. The student went to the room to confront the male student he suspected of throwing the object at him, who denied the accusation. University Police Department officers arrived and believed – based on what had been thrown out of the window and the objects in the room – that the Mitchell Hall resident was responsible. There were two other students in the suspect’s room.
