Oct. 7: UH Police Department had an eventful night Friday as they investigated a series of thefts and misconducts.
Computer information systems senior Cory Rodriguez and media production freshman Michael Galardi became the victims of theft when a currently unidentified individual entered the Center for Student Media in the Student Center North.
The thief made off with their backpacks containing laptops, cameras and Galardi’s car keys.
“UHPD called me telling me they have a suspect,” Galardi said. “From what I understand, however, not much can be done unless we know a serial number off of an item that was taken.”
Toilet paper theft
A UH student was caught attempting to steal a UH-owned pack of toilet paper from the Engineering 1 building.
The incident, which occurred between 11:20 p.m. and 11:24 p.m., resulted in the issuing of a Student Life Referral. The 18-roll pack of toilet paper was later reclaimed.
Student Life cleared the case.
Intoxicated student
After exhibiting erratic behavior at Taub Residence Hall Friday night, a student was sent to Park Plaza Medical Center after consuming an undetermined substance.
According to UHPD, the student most likely ingested a marijuana edible as well as prescription medication, which together caused him to become intoxicated and shout loudly. The student was issued a Student Life Referral.
The case has been cleared by Student Life.
