3/28 POSSESSION OF BEER UNDER 21
LEE WICKER
A 19-year-old male student who was walking in the roadway near Lee Wicker with two females reportedly threw his Heineken bottle on the ground when he saw an officer patrolling. He quickly began walking away, even when the officer pulled over and began walking toward the student. He was arrested for possession of beer under 21 and sent to Rock Hill Jail. He was not charged with littering.
3/20 VANDALISM
MCLAURIN
A faculty member arrived at his office in McLaurin to find that a yellow powder had been blown under the door, coating essentially everything in the office. The reporting officer identified the powder as discharge from a dry power fire extinguisher that had been removed from its hook just six feet away from the office. The extinguisher was not found anywhere in the building.
3/16 FOUND PROPERTY, TOWED VEHICLE
BASEBALL COMPLEX
An officer found a red Hebo brand motocross-style motorcycle, not reported stolen, behind the score board at the baseball complex on Eden Terrace, near the creek. No key was found in the ignition, which was intact and not damaged, according to the report.
The vehicle was registered to a local Rock Hill man, who said his motorcycle was last seen at a friend's house behind the Winthrop Commons in the Beatty Estates area.
3/14 DOMESTIC DISPUTE
DINKINS
An Aramark employee and his ex-wife were reportedly using profanity and "causing a scene" in Dinkins over money. The employee advised the woman that he was not giving her any money and she became upset with him, according to the report. Both the employee and his manager advised they do not want her to come back to Dinkins, and the officer issued her a trespass warning.
3/14 ASSAULT AND BATTERY
LEE WICKER
A female student refuses to press charges on her boyfriend, who reportedly pulled her hair, threw her off her bed and choked her. When she threatened to call the police, he ran to an "unknown direction."
