Harrassing texts and letter

OUPD was dispatched to Wilson Hall for a harrassment complaint Feb. 7 at 9:00 a.m.

The officer met with student at the General Counsel’s office.  The student said she had been receiving harrassing text messages from an unknown number.  

The officer found that the text messages were not threatening in nature, but there was a large amount of texts sent to the student and this concerned her personally.  The student said she tried to leave a voicemail to the unknown number’s inbox, but the inbox was not set up.

The student admitted she was nervous because a typed letter in an envelope was sent to her home address.  It had no return address.

OUPD asked the student to send the texts by email and deliver the letter to the station.

The investigation is still pending.
