POLICE BEAT
Sept. 19 - Accidental Injury
A UPD officer was dispatched to Building 9, outside the Alumni cafe, in reference to a sick person.
Upon arrival, the officer made contact with the victim, who was holding a paper napkin to her head. The victim
advised the officer that she had been standing by the glass wall of the cafe when she passed out and she didn't
recall anything that happened after passing out. When she awoke, she found that her head was hurting and noticed a
bleeding cut on her head.
A witness advised the victim that he saw her head hit the glass wall of the cafe. He assisted the victim to get up
and sit down in a chair. Upon examination of the area, the officer found no liquid or wet spots on the floor where
the victim fell. The officer contacted rescue services and rescue personnel evaluated the victim on the scene.
The victim was advised that the cut on her head was around 2 inches long and required stitches. She was transported
to St. Luke's Hospital.
Sept. 22 - Criminal Mischief
While on patrol of the Landing, a UPD officer heard a loud banging noise, as if a piece of metal had hit the
concrete in the courtyard areas of the Y building. After walking through the courtyard, the officer noticed two
male suspects walking north towards the lake behind the Landing.
One of the suspects was in possession of a tubular metal pole, which the officer recognized as a part of a picnic
table umbrella. The pole had been broken off one of the picnic tables in the courtyard. After being questioned, the
suspect holding the pole advised the officer that he had just picked it up and that he had not broken it.
The other suspect advised the officer that he told his friend to use the pole to mess with an alligator. The
officer was unable to determine who damaged the property. The pole was returned to housing. One of the suspects was
referred to student conduct and the other was issued a trespass warning, as he had no affiliation with UNF.
Sept. 24 - Damaged Property
While on patrol around Buildings 38 and 50, a UPD officer noticed a large television lying on the ground. The
television had been severely damaged and appeared to have been thrown from the fourth floor of Building 38.
After running a records check on the television's serial number, the officer found that the property had not been
stolen. Physical Facilities disposed of the television set and surrounding pieces of glass.
At a later date, the officer will view videotapes of the fourth level of Building 38 to find more information on
the incident.
Sept. 24 - Criminal Mischief
A UPD officer was dispatched to room 1131 of Building 2 in reference to a report of criminal mischief.
Upon arrival, the officer made contact with the complainant, who stated that he was a member of a fraternity that
had reserved the aforementioned room for a chapter meeting. When the fraternity members arrived for their meeting,
they found that members of another fraternity occupied the room they had reserved.
Instead of interrupting, the complainant and his fraternity elected to use the room next door for their meeting.
During their meeting, the complainant stated that he and his fellow fraternity members heard yelling coming from
the room they had previously reserved. Once the commotion ended, the complainant and his fraternity checked on the
room they had reserved. After observing the room, they found the room trashed.
Desk tops were broken off the chairs, drywall had gouges knocked into it and the floor was littered with trash
including unwrapped condoms. Upon arrival, the officer found no members of the fraternity in question present. The
officer recommends the fraternity be referred to student conduct.
