UPDATE: Theft of keys

He returned all of the keys that were missing.  He is currently on probation.

Theft at Hamlin Hall

Officers responded to a call of larceny from a dorm at Hamlin Hall 9:59 a.m. March 21.

A student said he headed to the showers at 6:45 p.m. and left his Google Nexus 7 tablet charging in his room. When he returned at 7:10 p.m., his tablet and charging cord were missing.  

The student asked three of his suitemates if they had seen it, but both denied seeing it.  They called their other suitemate who denied that he was in the room but said his tablet was also missing.  However, the suitemates never remembered him having a tablet, but they did remember that he had a broken laptop. 

They also found articles of their clothing on the absent suitemate’s part of the room.  They stated they never let him borrow clothing.

OUPD made contact with the absent suitemate. He allowed officers to search his backpack, which had a Google Nexus 7 tablet and charging cord.  He told officers that it was his and he was planning on gifting it to another student.

He also could not explain why the student’s files were on, supposedly, his tablet.  Officers also discoverd that the absent suitemate had visited many pornographic websites.

OUPD looked at the serial number and verified the missing tablet’s number.

He was placed under arrest for a warrant for disturbing the peace.  He is currently restricted from any housing facility.
