University of Maryland Police responded to reports of assault, theft and vandalism, among other incidents this past week, according to police reports.

Assault

On Sept. 21 at 9:19 p.m., an officer responded to the lobby of University Police Headquarters for a report of an assault that took place on Aug. 7 at the South Campus Dining Hall, University Police spokeswoman Sgt. Rosanne Hoaas said.

The male victim, who has no affiliation with this university, reported that a man became upset after the victim told him he couldn’t sit where he wanted to in the dining hall, Hoaas said. The suspect, who also has no affiliation with this university, then allegedly struck the victim, Hoaas said. This investigation is ongoing.

Theft

On Friday at 3:20 a.m. University Police responded to the bike rack on the north side of Stamp Student Union for a report of a bike theft in progress, Hoaas said. Their Security Operations Center identified two men trying to cut a cable lock off a bike.

An officer located the two men, who fled into Union Lane Parking Garage, Hoaas said. Their vehicle was stopped on University Boulevard as they attempted to escape. The suspects, who had bolt cutters, were both given an immediate denial of access to the university’s campus, Hoaas said.

Both 19-year-old Brandon Xavier Wiggins and 21-year-old Sean Anthony Woodland of Washington, D.C., were charged with fourth-degree burglary: possession of burglar’s tools, Hoaas said. This case is closed.

University Police later responded to Dorchester Hall on Sunday at 5:41 a.m. for a report of a bike theft in progress. Their Security Operations Center observed two men at a bike rack, and one of them had just stolen a bike, Hoaas said.

Officers responded and were able to apprehend one of the two suspects — a 15-year-old male, Hoaas said. The suspect was referred to juvenile court and charged with fourth-degree burglary: possession of burglar’s tools, in addition to three other charges.

This case remains open as officers search for the second suspect, Hoaas said.

Vandalism

University Police responded to Gossett Team House on Saturday at 8:26 a.m. for a report of vandalism, Hoaas said. A woman told the officer that there was graffiti on the wall.

Officers will review nearby cameras as they continue the investigation, Hoaas said. This case remains open.
