LARCENY OF IPOD (10/26/10)
At 2:25 p.m., a reporting officer met with a student to investigate a missing iPod. The student said she was in class working and had the iPod on her work table.
She left the room briefly and, while she was gone, a group of art students from Clinton Junior College toured the room.
The group was on a planned tour escorted by their art professor.
When the student came back into the room, she noticed her iPod was missing, although the earbuds
were still left on the table.
The officer spoke with the group of students and asked if they would volunteer to be searched.
Most did.
The art professor and student then searched the bus in which the group of Clinton students had arrived. The iPod was not found.
The reporting officer then asked the professor to search the bus once the group returned to Clinton.
The iPod did not turn up.
OPEN CONTAINER OF BEER (10/27/10)
At 10:15 p.m., a reporting officer observed a student sitting in the driver’s seat of a 2011 Mazda that had a red cup and a Four Loco beer on the ground outside of it in Dinkins parking lot.
The officer approached the student, saw other red cups in the vehicle and smelled a strong odor of alcohol coming from the student.
The student handed the officer one of the cups. The officer smelled a strong odor of alcohol coming from the cup and saw a small amount of beer inside the cup.
The student said the cups belonged to his friends who had just boarded the “Party Bus.” The officer had the student step out of the vehicle and began a field sobriety test.
The student passed the tests. However, he did admit he drank from one of the cups because his friend told him it was legal to drink in a vehicle as long as it was not from an actual beer can.
The student was cited for open container of beer in a vehicle and then released.
The student picked up all the empty cups and the beer can littering the ground in the vicinity of the vehicle and threw them away in a nearby trash can.
