In the first weeks of the semester, University Police investigated cases of theft, vandalism and indecent exposure.

INDECENT EXPOSURE

Officers responded to Calvert Hall on Sunday morning after residents reported that a male had exposed his genitals to them, said University Police spokesman Maj. Marc Limansky.

Because police did not witness the incident, Limanksy said, it would be hard to identify the flasher, especially without video evidence.

DISORDERLY CONDUCT

While police spoke to pedestrians about road safety at the intersection of Knox Road and Route 1 early Sunday morning, a male approached the officers and became “uncontrollable” and “belligerent,” Limansky said. Officers arrested the man when he refused to leave the area after several warnings.

Despite the incident, others expressed support toward the pedestrian safety education efforts, Limansky said.

”People are so positive towards these efforts, but it’s when you combine other factors like alcohol that people can become disrespectful,” he said.

MOTOR VEHICLE THEFT

A golf cart went missing from the Cambridge Community Center on Aug. 30, two days after police found a different golf cart that was stolen from a campus parking lot.

Golf carts are stolen most often by methods of breaking the locks or tampering with the ignition, Limansky said.

Limansky said those who drive golf carts on the campus should always use a cable lock to secure the cart to a fixed object, such as a fence or another golf cart.

VANDALISM

University Police are investigating the destruction of sorority Zeta Tau Alpha’s picnic tables on Fraternity Row. They received a report of the incident Aug. 31 and later found the tables “turned over and smashed,” Limansky said. The investigation has been suspended.

TRESSPASSING

University Police found a man sleeping inside the Art-Sociology Building at about 4:30 a.m. on Aug. 29 after a student alerted them. Limansky said police gave the man, who was not affiliated with the university, a verbal warning and told him to leave the building.

This is common protocol when people get into buildings after doors are accidentally left or propped open, Limansky said.
