On March 29 at 12:46 p.m., EPD responded to a call in Dobbs Hall regarding a theft. The complainant, an Emory student, reported that on March 29 between 10 a.m. and 12:50 p.m., another student entered his room and stole two Xbox One controllers, two rechargeable batteries for the controllers and a wooden mallet. Both students are members of the same fraternity. The complainant said he left his door unlocked before going to class. The complainant said that he checked Snapchat while he was in class and saw a series of Snapchat posts in which the other student stated the complainant stole two of his Xbox controllers. The other student then entered the complainant’s room, discovered the controllers he claimed were his and took them.

The complainant said the other student has had a number of behavioral and conduct issues within the fraternity, and some of the comments made in the Snapchat and text conversations were concerning. The complainant said he blocked the other student’s phone number, told him to never contact him again and plans to file for a restraining order against him. The total value of the items stolen is $230. The case has been assigned to an investigator.
