The employee gave the student what he wanted in an effort to calm him down, Hoaas said.
Officers arrived at the scene after the incident and could not find the suspect. The employee gave police information to identify the student, and they were then able to refer him to the Office of Student Conduct. This case is closed.

It is unclear when this incident took place, and police wouldn’t release what floor the vandalism occurred on, Hoaas said. The case is active.
University Police responded to the Technology Ventures Building on Nov. 7 at about 8 a.m. for a report of vandalism.
An employee told officers the cleaning staff found one of the card swipe readers leading into a room had been damaged, Hoaas said. The reader was unscrewed from the wall and was last seen intact on Nov. 6 at 5 p.m. Police are still investigating.
