University of Maryland Police responded to a sex offense and burglary, reported thefts and DWIs, among other reports, in the past two weeks.
Sex offense, burglary
University of Maryland Police are investigating a report of a burglary and fourth-degree sex offense that occurred at Elkton Hall Sunday morning.
A female student at this university was in her dorm room when a male whom she did not know entered the room. The male came into the room via an unlocked door and climbed into the woman’s bed, according to a UMD alert.
The man made contact with the woman while getting into the bed. The woman yelled at the man to get out, and he eventually fled the scene in an unknown direction. The man mentioned “OG Legend” during the incident, the alert read.
The alert described the suspect as a white man who was “medium height” and “heavy set,” with a “round face, brown eyes, short brown straight hair, and wearing only red/blue plaid shorts.”
This case is active.
