On Aug. 26 at 2:35 a.m., an officer patrolling Eagle Row and Asbury Circle observed a male subject urinating on some bushes. The officer made contact with the subject, a 20-year-old male student, as he was zipping his pants and walking away.

On Aug. 26 at 8:01 a.m., EPD responded to a call regarding a burglary at the Clairmont Campus, Building C. Officers met with a resident who stated that at 6:45 a.m. he awoke to an unknown male opening his bedroom door and turning on the light. Seeming to realize it was the wrong room, the person turned off the light and left. The student heard the apartment door open and close. He got up to check the hallway after a few minutes but saw no one. At 3:20 p.m., the resident called EPD again to report the lock on one of his roommates’ bedroom door was broken. His roommate reportedly could not unlock his door with his key and had to call facilities management to unlock it. A third student living in the apartment reported $20 missing from her wallet, which she said was on a table near her bedroom door. The complainant said the residents of the room found a bobby pin on the floor of the hallway, which they suspect may have been used to unlock the door. The main door had been locked before everyone went to sleep, the complainant added. The case has been assigned to an investigator.
