Security notes: 04/22/2019

The follow incidents were reported to Campus Security between April 6 – April 19.

Larceny

A man’s credit card was stolen out of his locker at the Washtenaw Health and Fitness Center, on April 1 at 7:30 p.m. The man, 67, reported the card missing after receiving a notification from the issuer due to unusual card activity. Over a $1,000 was lost before the credit card was deactivated. There are currently no suspects. The case is under investigation.

Illegal drug usage

A WTMC student was caught selling e-cigarettes cartridges to other students. It’s also been reported that the same student also sold alcohol away from campus. The student obtained the products through a party store, but it’s not known how they were allowed to do so. The ombudsman as well as the dean of WTMC will discipline the student. Although still unconfirmed, the student is believed to have sold the e-cigarettes at $100 each.

Malicious destruction of property

A 19-year-old WCC student got to her car to discover three of her tires were slashed. Property damage is estimated to be over $500 dollars. The suspect was caught when the victim reported the incident to campus police. The suspect, another 19-year-old WCC student, admitted to the crime. The issue stemmed from a relationship dispute. The victim is pressing charges against the suspect through the county prosecutor’s office.

Unfounded 4th degree forcible contact

A WCC male student, 22, reported to campus police of unwanted inappropriate touching while he was in the Fitness Center locker room. The crime was reported on April 15 in the evening. When the campus officer arrived to interview the alleged victim, his details of events were not consistent to what was first reported. When pressed for details, the student later admitted he lied. False reporting is a crime, but because the student didn’t blame anyone specifically, the “victim” in this case is the officer whose time was wasted. The police are not pressing charges against the student.

Reminder

Campus safety and security asks students and staff to report any suspicious activity or incidents that occur on campus. Campus safety and security is open 24 hours, seven days a week. Call 734-973-3411.
