Fire alarm leads to discovery of persona non-grata

On Friday, April 1, OUPD responded to a fire alarm at the 5000 building of the University Student Apartments. Upon arrival, residents were observed outside the building. Officers investigated where the possible fire would be taking place. No fire was found in progress but the remnants of a kitchen fire in a third floor residence were confirmed.

When filing the report, it was discovered that the current occupant of the room, where the fire had taken place, was not a legal resident of the apartment and was in fact on the university’s personas non-grata list. The student had provided a fake name when OUPD took information the day of the fire and when later investigating the student’s information, were not able to locate the name through a university search program. The student was later arrested for trespassing and informed to never return to campus.

The Dean of Students informed OUPD that the student had never actually received his PNG letter.

Vehicle tampering at Hamlin

On Sunday, April 3, OUPD received a report regarding a student’s vehicle that had been tampered with. It was reported that the student’s vehicle had profane wording on the hood of the car written in an unidentified yellow substance. The rain and snow mix had removed most of the substance and there was no damage to the vehicle. The student stated she believed the tampering was not done as a violent act and there are no suspects at this time.
